Coach Maya Freeman, M. Ed
LPGA Class A Teaching Professional
Before she was "Coach Maya", she was an NCAA Division II collegiate golfer - and later, "Miss Freeman" as a first-grade classroom teacher. Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, Maya graduated from Christian Brothers University in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in English for Corporate Communications and Psychology. Her time as a collegiate athlete, paired with deep community involvement as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., sparked a lasting passion for empowering girls and women both on and off the course.
After relocating to Houston through Teach For America, Maya immersed herself in education and earned a Master's in Teaching from Relay Graduate School of Education. Six years in the classroom taught her a lesson that's shaped everything since: support is free. Whether it was tying shoes, talking through hard questions about identity, or simply showing up consistently, she discovered that relationships - not curriculum alone - are what help kids believe in themselves.
That same philosophy now drives every lesson at Off the Tee Golfing Club. As a certified LPGA Class A Instructor with additional coaching certifications through First Tee, LPGA*USGA Girls Golf, and the Positive Coaching Alliance, Maya builds golfers from the ground up. For the student's she coaches, the real goal is never just a better swing - it's confidence! It's giving each player, whether age 3 or 100, the tools and encouragement to take their game and themselves to the next level.
Maya currently serves as Program Director for First Tee – Greater Houston. In her own words:
"As a Program Director and Golf Instructor, I work to uplift young voices in decision-making processes and hope to inspire the next generation to be the best version of themselves! In all seasons of life, I am most excited about motivating individuals to reach their goals, helping them make new ones, and outstretching those too! In my spare time, I love to EAT, volunteer, travel, spend time in nature, listen to music, and get into anything adventurous!"
