The First Tee Program
The First Tee Life Skills Experience consists of five progressive class levels of golf and life skills formulated with the help of experts in the fields of positive youth development, sports psychology, education, and golf, and backed by extensive independent research. Each level builds on skills learned in previous levels. In addition to having fun and learning a sport that can be played throughout their lives, youth who complete the five levels of The First Tee Life Skills Experience will benefit by the acquisition of relevant interpersonal communication, self-management, goal-setting, and resilience skills, and have many leadership and education opportunities unique to The First Tee.
A 1:8 coach to student ratio is maintained to optmize each student's experience. Within each class, students are divided into smaller groups based on their current golf expertise with golf instruction tailored to each skill group. Life skills for each class level are not taught separately, but are seamlessly incorporated into the golf instruction. Written and practical assessments on both golf and life skills are given at the end of the class session to measure competency and readiness for the next class level. On average, youth 7-12, typically require 18-24 hours of class participation (usually 2-3 complete sessions) prior to being "certified" at their current level.
Each class level has a specific curriculum of life skills, developmentally appropriate to specific age groups. As such, younger children in PLAYer or Par level classes, who may be accomplished golfers and who have demonstrated acquisition of their current life skills may be need to continue participating at their current level, or optional classes until they have reached the minimum age requirements for other class levels.
