The First Tee of Tampa Bay

About The First Tee of Tampa Bay

Today, the YMCA of Tampa Bay's First Tee program is an integral part of the YMCA's youth development mission, providing young people with an opportunity to learn and grow through the game of golf. The program combines golf instruction and life skills curriculum to create learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience in kids. We believe that this approach empowers them to face life's challenges with courage and confidence. Through the game of golf, we are helping kids develop the strength of character that will stay with them throughout their lives.

PLAYer JUNIOR GOLF GROUP LESSONS

In the PLAYer Junior Golf Group Lessons, participants ages 5-18 receive golf instruction in classes with no larger than an six-to-one student/instructor ratio. The classes meet once per week for seven weeks, 60 minutes per class, during which time the participants are taught the fundamentals, rules and etiquette of golf along with a curriculum of life skills. All classes are led by a PGA professional or other qualified golf instructor. These sessions will be offered continuously throughout the year. Students who have their own golf clubs are encouraged to bring them to class; however, for any student who does not have equipment, First Tee – Tampa Bay will provide the appropriate clubs for each session. First Tee’s PLAYer level curriculum is covered in PLAYer Group Golf Lessons.
