Happy Fall and Holiday Season — Parents, Guardians & Participants,
We are looking forward to planning our 2024 On-course sessions.
Each session will run for FOUR consecutive weeks, weather permitting. Make-up class information will be provided if needed.
Spring, Summer I, Summer II and Fall Session are being coordinated with our course locations as well as the availability of the many volunteer coaches that help make these programs possible.
Safety … FIRST … is critical in all we do. The First Tee – Delaware is fully focused on being proactive and anticipatory to provide a SAFE, supportive environment where our participants can learn. thrive and have fun.
To get a head start on planning for 2024, here are some general preparation guidelines:
- Have your child dress in comfortable clothes that are appropriate for the weather.
- PLEASE bring your water bottle/drink to class for your child(s). We want our participants to stay hydrated.
- Unless you are contacted by your site’s lead coach, there is typically no dress code for our Sessions/Classes. We encourage our participants to be neat and comfortable. T-shirts or hats will be given to each participant, and we ask that they wear them to each class. If you are a returning participant, and already have a T-shirt that still fits, please wear that one to class. Our programs at Rehoboth Beach Country Club and Kings Creek may have a different dress code and participants registered at those locations will be properly informed.
- Shoes – can just be sneakers or something comfortable. There will be running around, and exercise as part of each class.
- If your child has golf clubs, please bring them along. If NOT, know that we provide the necessary clubs and balls and additional equipment if needed.
- If we are going to have a weather event or any other reason for postponements which will impact the class, we will post on our website’s ALERTS Page, https://www.firstteedelaware.org/alerts/ on our Social Media Platforms – Facebook & Twitter, the status no later than 1 hour before the start of your class.
- If your child must miss a session (life happens), it is ok. Please let your Lead Coach know. You can also email our Business Manager, Leslie McGuigan, [email protected] and she will notify your coach. We will work with you to the best of our ability, to find a makeup class. We have other opportunities for the child to join other classes at other courses.

We ask that parents/guardians/family members volunteer their time OR help us secure Donations for a fundraising event during each year. This could be from yourself, friends and/or business or work contacts.
