XDL Juniors & Schools

XDL, in partnership with the Student Volunteer Army (SVA), is bringing Long Drive into schools across New Zealand—aligning our Regional Championships with opportunities for young athletes to step up and shine! Now, we’re expanding into Australia with the XDL Trans-Tasman Crews, giving aspiring Long Drive champions a platform to compete on both sides of the ditch. From school Haka performances and entertainment at events to hands-on action with Fruit Guys’ "Give it a Go" sessions, XDL is committed to fostering the next generation of talent. Our young champs are already making waves, kicking off with the Taranaki Regionals, and we’re just getting started! Since 2016, XDL founder Olna Ford has included kids from regions in NZ and local events and with talent in Australia taking to the tee with interest XDL is focused on growing the opportunities for the young champs.
