TFTSP Youth Golf Council St Petersburg FL

At the first tee of St. Petersburg we serve approximately 1,200 youths each year and our program consists of a diverse group of young people. Approximately 35% of our participants are minority and 35% are female. Of our 1,200 plus youths, approximately 30% are considered "at risk" as they will have to overcome at least one major obstacle to become fine citizens of our community. These obstacles may include but are not limited to: poverty, broken homes, single parent homes, learning disabilities, etc. The first tee programs are offered twelve months a year and include: target clinics, practice & play school programs, saturady half-day programs, full and half day summer camps, tournaments, in-school programs, leagues, outreach programs, a middle school competitive program, inner city programs through local churches, schools, Youth organizations, special olympics and academy prep center for learning. Our ultimate long-term and ongoing goal is to see the Youth who participate in the progarm become the great future leaders of the community.
