Levels
Young people progress through the First Tee by moving through levels that introduce new and more advanced concepts of golf and life skills. Below is a brief introduction to the levels. Our certification (passing) of each level is the outcome of a fun, learning process that occurs through experience (Understanding, Demonstrating, and Exhibiting) over time and may take significant time to complete. Participation is not a race but an opportunity for building a strong foundation for subsequent levels of the The First Tee program.
