Mission: To impact the lives of young people in the Greater Tampa area by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

The First Tee of Tampa Bay provides more than 25,000 children each year with hands-on, interactive golf experiences along with introducing them to The First Tee’s Nine Core Values. A program branch of the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA, The First Tee of Tampa Bay also partners with community members such as the Tampa Sports Authority, the City of Tampa and Terrace Hill Golf Course to offer year round programming for its members.

The First Tee program uses the game of golf to provide young people with the chance to develop life-enhancing values like confidence, perseverance and judgment. The First Tee teaches a series of life skills (such as goal setting, how to meet new people, and staying healthy) in all of its programs. Whether through introductory programs in 50+ Hillsborough County public schools, afterschool programs at several local courses, or week-long summer camp experiences, The First Tee shows children that golf is more than a game – it’s an opportunity to become the very best they can be.


Group Golf Lessons
The First Tee of Tampa Bay’s Group Golf Lessons

We invite you to register your child for The First Tee of Tampa Bay’s (TFTTB) Group Golf Lessons. The First Tee of Tampa Bay is the youth golf program of the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA. However, TFTTB programs are equally available to every child (not just YMCA members).

In the Group Golf Lessons program, children receive golf instruction in classes with no larger than an eight-to-one student/instructor ratio. The classes meet once per week for seven weeks, 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. Over the course of each seven-week session, children have the opportunity to advance according to The First Tee levels program. These sessions will be offered continuously throughout the year. The First Tee of Tampa Bay will provide golf equipment if necessary. Both beginners and experienced players are welcome.

Ages: 5-18

Cost: $84 ($12/class) in most locations for the seven-week session. A limited number of Partial Program Scholarships may be available for all families earning less than $60,000/year. However, as part of a special community initiative at Rogers Park GC, the cost for the Group Golf Lessons is automatically $14 ($2/class) for a seven-week session for those living in the following zip codes: 33602, 33603, 33604, 33605, 33610 & 33612. See the application for full details.
