First Tee Community Program: For Youth Organizations
We partner with youth-serving organizations and youth centers like Boys and Girls Clubs and YMCA to provide the First Tee Community Program equipment and curriculum for use in their facilities. In addition, we also work with these and other organizations to introduce golf fundamentals through games and fun activities that are flexible for the ages and abilities of the kids involved.
What’s Provided
The First Tee Community Program gives youth development professionals and volunteer leaders the tools to get started. Our program adapts to any setting, class time, and class size. First Tee provides training, equipment and lesson plans. Youth leaders also have access to First Tee’s online community for additional support, resources, and connection with peers.
Community Outreach Activities, Clinics, and Camps
First Tee – North Florida partners with many local youth-serving organizations to bring golf clinics, after-school classes, and summer camp activities to kids and teens. Through our outreach clinics and camps, students learn golf fundamentals through fun activities, along with First Tee life skills concepts. We work with each organization on an individual basis to tailor outreach events, depending on the number of students. We provide coaches and equipment. We schedule our outreach clinics from one to three hours, and we can also schedule mini-summer camps for multiple half-days. We will come to your facility and lead clinics using our modified golf equipment, or we can make arrangements with one of our local golf course partners to provide a full-scale golf practice learning experience for your students. Our clinic/camp fees are based on coach time and clinic structure, and fees vary depending on the length of the event. Contact us today for an outreach event at your facility.
