About First Tee Week

A unified message.
A national movement.

First Tee Week is our network-wide moment to amplify the stories that matter most — the coaches who show up every day and the young people whose lives are forever changed.

“The incredible coaches and the meaningful relationships they foster have always been the heartbeat of First Tee.”
