My juniors love playing with the laser pens. I have competitions to see who can trace the straightest plane line with the laser whilst fanning the right forearm. All of the time they are educating their hands without realising it. Just make sure you get the ones that are safe on the eyes!

Of course they all love whacking the hell out of the impact bag. Let them hold impact and comment on each others alignments. All of my kids can spot a flipper a mile away.

One thing you dont need to teach kids is lag. They have it naturally especially if the clubs are on the heavy side.

I have found the best way to keep kids interest when hitting balls is to give them something to aim at thats a bit different. Greens, flags etc are boring. Notice how they suddenly want to be accurate and hit balls when the ball collector comes onto the range? Put a piece of glass out there as in the big break and they will stay there all night trying to break it (this is just as effective with adults!).

Taking divots is also an attraction for kids (if you have a grass practise tee) as it seems to be a bit naughty to rip up the grass.

Key is to make sure they have fun so they come back.

Im always looking for new ideas for them so this will be an interesting thread.
