In 2021, First Tee – Coastal Carolinas;
will be working to expand our Life Skills Experience programs throughout our footprint in partnership with our schools, volunteers, golf industry leaders and the business community at large. Our goal is to reach at least 30,000 youth in 2021.
Our Nine Core Values™ –
Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Responsibility, Courtesy, Confidence, Judgment and Perseverance
– are embedded in all First Tee programs.
We provide these Character Building Lessons across the Carolinas through 3 main program types:
SCHOOL PROGRAM
The School Program is taught by Elementary School Physical Education teachers across our counties and is prevalent among many of First Tee chapters across the United States. The program is taught by Physical Education teachers because it is conducted within the schools during scheduled weeks of P.E class, grades K-5.
School Day Programs takes place once a week for 4 weeks in the Fall and 5 weeks in the Spring. The difference between this and The School Program is that this program is for fourth graders, and taught by trained First Tee local coaches at green grass facilities. Fourth graders from each school are bussed out during school to receive 90 minute programs of Core Values, Golf Activities, & most importantly FUN!
The After School Programs are offered in all 3 of our regions. They consist of 8 sessions in the Spring and Fall, which consist of face- to- face character building activities geared to providing a fun, life improving experience utilizing golf as an outlet in educating youth on our patented 9 Core Values.

We enable kids and teens to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges by seamlessly integrating the game of golf with life skills. We provide active learning experiences that develop inner strength, self-confidence and resilience that kids can carry into everything they set out to accomplish.

We believe in developing the ones that are just as fun as they are meaningful, where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail, and better equipped for whatever comes their way next. With proven results, we aim to help kids become better versions of themselves while enriching the communities around us.
