Nicole’s Swing Notes for Mentors…

For two to three-year-old children, use oversized lightweight plastic kick balls, 3-inch plastic ball pit balls and foam balls and have them mimic:

Two thumbs (‘thumbies’) to the grass

Feet under each ear (feet on visual aids like footprints)

Elephant’s trunk swing motion or a ‘One-Two Back and Through’ motion.

For four to five-year-old children, use 3-inch plastic ball pit balls and real golf balls to demonstrate and encourage:

Hands together as a team, thumbs down front of handle to grass

Feet under each shoulder (on visual aids like footprints)

Ball in middle of feet, Letter Y Arms and Club

‘One (backswing), Two (forward swing), Show My Shoe!’
