The First Tee of North Florida

First Tee is a dedicated youth development organization that focuses on fostering both personal and athletic growth through the game of golf. By integrating golf with a comprehensive life skills curriculum, First Tee aims to cultivate inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience in young people. The organization’s programs are designed to provide enjoyable yet meaningful learning experiences, encouraging kids to embrace new challenges and persevere through setbacks.

The junior golf programs at First Tee serve as more than just sports training; they are platforms for building life and leadership skills transferable to various aspects of life including academic performance, social interactions, and future careers. Through well-structured activities, children learn critical values such as honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment.

Participation in First Tee's initiatives also extends opportunities for community involvement. Volunteers and donors play a crucial role in providing the resources needed to equip young participants with essential tools for lifelong success.
