Summer Program Lottery - Opens This Month!
The Summer Core Golf and Life Skills Program lottery take place Monday, April 18 - Sunday, April 24, and the full summer schedule will be available online on Friday, April 15.

First Tee is again hosting a lottery for participants at the TARGET (ages 5 & 6), PLAYer (ages 7-12), and Teen (ages 12-18) levels. If your child is randomly selected for a class in the lottery, you will receive an email to log back in and finalize the registration on April 25th or 26th. Please note that if your child is not selected for a class in the lottery, they will be moved to the waitlist, and you will not receive an email notification.

Levels for returning participants who have certified through end-of-season assessments (Advanced PLAYer, Par, Birdie, and Eagle) do not have a lottery, and registration will open on Monday, April 18th at 12:00am (midnight).

Any classes with remaining spots after all lottery participants have been processed can register on a first-come, first-served basis on April 27th. All registrations will end on Sunday, May 15th and no late registrations will be accepted. The summer season begins the week of June 13th.

Please note that summer registration is taking place before the spring season (and spring assessments) ends. Please register your child for a class at their current level, and if they choose to take an assessment and certify to a new level, we will help you transfer to a new class.

QUESTIONS? EMAIL PROGRAM DIRECTOR, MEGHAN TAYLOR: MEGHAN@FIRSTTEECHS.ORG
We value your feedback: Core Program Cost Increase
At First Tee, we want to bring our Core Program to as many young people as possible. Did you know that we have a waitlist for many programs and that program fees only cover a portion of the actual program cost? We are able to reach as many kids and teens as we do because of our generous donors and volunteers who help to offset program costs.

To support program growth, we are exploring a potential to increase program fees. Currently, fees are $50 for 8 weeks of programming. Did you also know that we offer scholarships to all military families, families in need, and students from other local non-profits like Meeting Street Academy? An increase in fees would help expand programs to create greater access for kids and teens.

Pictured above is one of our PLAYer classes from Patriots Point this spring where after school program students from Meeting Street Academy are transported to a PLAYer level class.
 
It is time for us to explore a cost increase and we want to hear from you! Please click here to take a 1-2 minute survey no later than Monday, April 11th to share your thoughts.
