Since 2003, First Tee Greater Seattle has worked to impact the lives of young people by promoting character-development and teaching life skills and core values through the game of golf. Through First Tee's Life Skills Curriculum, the program uses golf as a platform to provide character education to kids ages 5 to 18 years old. Weekly classes for more than 2,700 young people annually are designed to emphasize the importance of values like honesty, integrity, perseverance, confidence, and respect. In addition, First Tee - Greater Seattle now brings its proven character education curriculum to more than 100,000 students at more than 200 public and parochial schools annually.

At First Tee – Greater Seattle, we’re Building Game Changers by empowering kids and teens to be the best version of themselves.

By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with character-building, we create learning experiences that help kids uncover their inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that they can carry to everything they do.

Our trained coaches not only provide an introduction to junior golf and an opportunity to enhance golf skills, but they also create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment to help your child prepare for life ahead, including friendships, school, college and even their careers.

Through our program, kids will learn skills that stay with them for life: 

• Understanding and managing emotions 
• Resolving conflicts 
• Setting up step-by-step goals 
• Planning for the future 
• Appreciating diversity 
• Fundamental golf skills and techniques
