First Tee – Delaware’s 2026 Life Skills Classes
We are looking forward to another fun season coaching kids and teens using golf as our way to teach life skills, reinforce core values, and introduce key commitments as a pathway to be a Leader. If you have been with us before — welcome back. If this is your first time attending classes – welcome to the First Tee – Delaware Family.
Things to Know
Our classes meet once a week for four weeks unless otherwise noted on the registration portal.
• If we need to postpone a class due to the weather, an email will be sent to you, and we will try our best to put a notification on our ALERTS PAGE. Normally we make the decision 2-4 hours before class begins. A make-up classes will be arranged, frequently for the week after the scheduled final class.
• Come to class dressed comfortably for the weather. The weather can change quickly (i.e. one day warm, with the wind – one day cold). Your children will be outside, and moving around. Let’s make sure they are comfortable and focused on learning.
• Part of our Safety First principle — Please bring water for your children so we can ensure they are hydrated.
• Parents are welcome to drop their kids off when class begins and pick them up with class is over. Please be on-time for pick up, as someone from our staff will remain until all kids are safely headed home.
• If for any reason the participant(s) will miss a week, you can make it up at another course in your area. Please reach out to your coach, Scott Allen ([email protected]) or Leslie McGuigan ([email protected]) to let them know and discuss how to make up the class.
• Equipment will be provided on-site to all who need it. If your child has their own golf clubs, they are welcome to bring them.
In addition to Golf, we’ll be introducing the concepts of First Tee’s “Five Commitments to becoming a Game Changer.”
• Pursuing Goals
• Growing Through Challenge
• Collaborating with Others
• Building a Positive Self-Identity
• Using good Judgement
Most importantly …. Let’s have FUN!
