Welcome to First Tee - Jersey Shore
First Tee is a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do. We’re Building Game Changers through our junior golf programs.
At First Tee – Jersey Shore, we’re Building Game Changers by empowering kids and teens to be the best version of themselves.
By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with character-building, we create learning experiences that help kids uncover their inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that they can carry to everything they do. Through our program, kids will learn skills that stay with them for life: understanding and managing emotions, resolving conflicts, setting up step-by-step goals, planning for the future, appreciating diversity, and golf fundamentals and advanced techniques.

Coaching Philosophy
The First Tee Coach Philosophy was created with the help of youth development experts to deliver an engaging and supportive program. We have built our coaching framework that supports the four coach building blocks and helps our instructors and volunteers execute our guiding principles: relationships, teamwork, and engagement.
Empowering Youth
Relationship focused coaching
Filling emotional tank
Asking open-ended questions and building rapport
Creating an environment that promotes emotional and physical safety
Fostering empathy, teamwork, and inclusion
Activity-Base
Doing versus telling
Asking reflection-based questions to facilitate learning
Creating more time for skill building through seamless integration
Delivering our Try, Show, Try, Play coaching model
Mastery Driven
Process versus the outcome
Coaching and rewarding the process (skill-building and effort)
Attention on intention
Focusing on the objective of the day and not 4-5 objectives at one time
Continuous Learning
Growth mindset versus fixed mindset
Valuing effort, resiliency, and learning from mistakes
Coachable moments
