Meet The Coaches
Ryan and Sarah Zylstra are passionate about early childhood development and believe that building strong motor skills is a foundational part of every child’s growth. Ryan’s experience as a junior golf professional, paired with Sarah’s 20+ years as a dance studio owner and educator, creates a dynamic and well-rounded approach that shines through in every class they lead.
At the heart of their philosophy is a whole-child approach—one that ensures each student feels safe, supported, engaged, and appropriately challenged. Their goal is to nurture confident, creative learners while helping children develop skills that contribute not only to their personal success, but to the well-being of the community around them.
About Jump Start Golf
Jump Start Kids Golf is designed to give juniors ages 2-6 a fun environment to learn to play the game of golf.
Our curriculum, Birdie Basics, was specifically designed for this age group by an early childhood expert and golf professional. The story-driven golf discovery program teaches through fun and memorable games. This allows young children to feel successful and get excited about golf from day one.
Jump Start Kids Golf takes the complex concepts involved in proper golf techniques and turns them into simple, memorable metaphors that we deliver through fun games and activities.
