Youth Golf Programming

Thank you for your interest in the youth golf programs at The First Tee of Richmond and Chesterfield! Our goal is to enrich the lives of young people in the Richmond area through the delivery of fun, safe and educational activities lead by certified trained professionals and to use the experience of golf as a conduit for introducing The First Tee's Nine Core Values™ in an environment that promotes and empowers youth. 

The First Tee organization is committed to instilling high standards of academic performance, personal integrity, leadership, athletic accomplishment, and the transmission of family values. A dynamic curriculum, supportive instruction and positive character building characterize the First Tee Experience. Its objective is to instruct participants in the basic skills of the game of golf cultivate the habits and techniques of learning, develop athletic accomplishments and to instill in youth the highest standards of self-discipline and conduct. The First Tee of Richmond/Chesterfield seeks to foster an appreciation of the discipline and sportsmanship required in the game of golf and to demonstrate how these qualities can be applied to everyday life experiences.

The First Tee Life Skills Experience is one of the unique features that differentiates The First Tee from many other successful junior golf programs.  Through the Life Skills Experience, participants learn valuable lessons about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude; how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences and how to define and set goals from the golf course to everyday life.
