Select your grade group
Classes are broken down by grade group, so feel free to invite a friend and take part in our winter classes. This past fall season we had a record 629 participants take classes, so please mark your calendar for November 8th to make sure you secure your spot. The schedule is now posted here.
Each week our participants will experience one of our 6 Life Skills and 6 Golf Cues. Our life skills cover everything from goal setting, building a positive self-identity to collaboration skills. Most importantly we strive to integrate the skills seamlessly through age-appropriate games and activities that make classes and learning fun.
Each of our life skills have multiple variations that are tailored for each grade group. Here is an example of how our life skill of “Collaboration” is structured for the different grade groups:
- Grades 2-4 – collaboration through using good sportsmanship
- Grades 5-6 – collaboration using ALR (ask, listen, respond) to understand and appreciate others
- Grades 7-8 – collaboration by embracing people’s differences and variety of perspectives
- Grades 9-12 – collaboration using CARE (communicate, actively listen, review options, end with a win-win) to resolve issues together.
We encourage youth 2nd grade and above to join our program and ask that you help spread the word. For more information click here. Click here to view our program video and learn more from our participants, parents, and coaches!
