The First Tee DRIVE

---

The First Tee DRIVE After-School program within EFA’s existing programs will use a golf platform and the Nine Core Values of The First Tee (The First Tee Nine Core Values ™ : Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy, Judgment) to introduce kids and teens that may not have been previously exposed to the game of golf.

The First Tee DRIVE is the perfect activity for young people as it Develops Rewarding, Inspiring Values for Everyone. The First Tee DRIVE program modifies traditional sports—including baseball, football, bowling and tennis—to incorporate the four basic golf shots: putt, chip, pitch and full swing. This educational program builds character, instills life enhancing values, and promotes healthy choices through the game of golf.

The First Tee DRIVE is an 8 week program best suited for children ages 7-12 years old. The First Tee DRIVE utilizes introductory golf equipment that is durable and safe for indoor or outdoor use.

The equipment is modified, developmentally appropriate, and consists of colorful oversized clubs, tennis-style balls and a variety of targets.

The First Tee DRIVE has a physical activity component via the introductory golf, youth development component through the values presented during each session, and an educational component via the tutoring program available to each participant.

The First Tee DRIVE sessions are currently held at Elementary Schools in the Rialto USD, and will be offered at locations throughout the Inland Empire soon. Please contact us for Registration and Program Fees and locations. Scholarships are available. NO ONE will be turn away due to financial situation.
