The First Tee is a Nationally recognized Charity which enriches the lives of young people by providing them with essential life skills lessons via the game of golf. We believe golf offers the best "classroom" for learning interpersonal relations, goal setting, self management and resiliency skills. These four "Life Skills" are delivered to participants in a seamless way of coaching that encourages exploration and self-discovery. We believe that developing the four skills will help students face challenges at home, school, and at play in a constructive manner. The other inherent values of golf; etiquette expectations, rules dependant on self-responsibility, and the physical and mental challenges also makes golf a unique environment for personal development. The First Tee® programs provide a unique, seamless integration of a character development curriculum (containing 9 important values) which is delivered with quality golf skills instruction. Our teaching philosophy is to always keep our program active, fun, safe, and meaningful.
