Welcome to the First Tee School Program!
Since 2004, First Tee has been integrating our program into PE classes in schools across the country. First Tee – Greater Washington, DC has over 250 elementary and middle schools and teachers across the state to teach our curriculum, expanding our impact.
Program Objectives
- Create a safe introduction to golf for today’s students and teachers.
- Help students strengthen character and confidence through the positive personal and social values associated with the game and extend those values to other areas of their lives.
- Provide opportunities for students to experience golf as an enjoyable, lifelong recreation and health-enhancing activity.
- Ensure that the curriculum meets national standards developed by the Society for Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE).
