Summer programming - We currently service the counties of Defiance, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, Senecca, and Wood in Ohio. Our life-skills experience program (LSE) uses golf to teach youth life lessons and leadership skills. Certified coaches use the golf course and practice areas to create a fun, group setting for youth ages 5 to 18 to learn the game of golf, make new friends and most importantly become better people. In 2017 we had 166 registrants for our Summer Programming with 75% male and 25% female participation.
After School Programming (DRIVE) - We supply the curriculum, the equipment and the training for youth leaders to deliver the programs. First Tee DRIVE is designed to introduce kids to golf and The First Tee's Nine Core Values - respect, courtesy, responsibility, honesty, sportsmanship, confidence, judgement, perseverance, and integrity. Our lesson plans introduce youth to golf through activities that resemble sports they may already be familiar with, like baseball, football, bowling and tennis. Instructors receive an activity guide that includes 18 detailed activity plans, information section explaining teaching methods, safety and class management procedures, instructional cue cards and golf terms.
