DURING SCHOOL TERM TIMEPHYSICAL CONDITIONING
Physical preparation is another pillar in the development of young athletes. To this end, four weekly sessions complement the sports program, primarily based on Strength and Conditioning. Supervised by certified coaches, the players will have access to a private space in a gym. Mainly based on movements from Functional Training, the session programming is designed to develop the qualities necessary for improving the golf swing. Additionally, it is an essential factor in the concept of pushing oneself beyond limits.

Our motto
What our students and their parents have to say
TESTIMONY
Sending our child 1,000 kilometers from home is not an easy decision. However, we have never regretted our choice to enroll our daughter in this institution, which is characterized by its seriousness, the quality of its teaching, its kindness, and its work ethic, not to mention its positive atmosphere. The supervising team, led by PJ, is extremely available to both students and parents. Seeing our daughter thrive at Whales Academy confirms that we made the best choice for her.
We were looking for a program that could balance academic and athletic goals without sacrificing either. The Whales Biarritz Academy has fully met our expectations for the past 2 years. Our son is thriving thanks to ideal training conditions while maintaining an excellent academic record. The availability and professionalism of the staff are reassuring as parents, especially given the geographical distance.
I have now been a member of the Whales Biarritz Academy for about a year. Here, with favorable weather, suitable facilities, and competent and attentive people around you, progress and advancement towards your goals are inevitable. As for me, I feel right at home here, and this feeling can only help me progress and evolve in my future life.
