First Tee Adaptive Athlete Class
Our adaptive golf program provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for young athletes with disabilities to learn and enjoy the game of golf. This class focuses on building fundamental golf skills, confidence, and social connections through patient, expert guidance and personalized instruction.
Program Highlights:
- Skill Development: Participants will learn all fundamental golf skills involved in putting, chipping and the full golf swing, with instruction tailored to individual needs and abilities.
- Inclusive Environment: The program fosters a safe space where all abilities are valued, promoting a sense of belonging and camaraderie among all participants.

- Life Skills Integration: Beyond golf techniques, First Tee incorporates essential life skills, such as honesty, respect, and perseverance, to help participants build confidence and achieve personal growth.
