Junior clubs, golf balls, and learning equipment are provided for your junior golfer to utilize. After the 3or4 week, each youth participant that doesn’t have his or her on clubs will be provided a free starter set. If a junior golfer has their own golf clubs, we encourage them to bring those to practice. WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR? Proper golf attire is required. Appropriate clothing consists of: a shirt,  pants or short, and any type of athletic shoes. HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR CLASSES? You may register for classes on our website. CAN MY CHILD MISS ANY CLASSES? As a youth development program, we teach and reinforce the nine core values: two of which being responsibility and perseverance. Attending classes regularly is an easy way to practice those values. In the case of an emergency, we do understand and excuse those absences. WHAT ARE CLASSES LIKE? Class size, age, and curriculum vary according to the class your child is enrolled in. All students begin at the PAR level of the program. At this level, we focus on introductory golf instruction and interpersonal skills. The next level is BIRDIE. At this level, we provide more advanced instruction and focus on goal setting. The EAGLE level is designed for students who have been with The First Tee for a minimum of 3 years and practice regularly outside of The First Tee. At this level, our most advanced golf curriculum is delivered as well as our life skills curriculum which is focused on resiliency and planning for the future. WHAT AGES ARE THE STUDENTS?

The end of the golf club should be just below the child's’ belly button. WHERE ARE SOME LOCATIONS WHERE MY CHILD COULD PRACTICE OUTSIDE OF THE FIRST TEE?
