The First Tee of Silicon Valley Partnered with City Year at San Antonio Elementary
On May 31st, The First Tee of Silicon Valley partnered with City Year to deliver a DRIVE program introduction at San Antonio Elementary. DRIVE (Developing, Rewarding, Inspiring, Values for Everyone) is our in-school program delivered by school leaders at their respective schools. DRIVE exposes students to The First Tee Nine Core Values and teaches golf skills through sports that students may be already know; such as baseball, football, bowling, and tennis.
Twenty-two San Antonio Elementary students participated in a DRIVE lesson plan where they practiced respectful handshakes and learned how to hold and swing a golf club.
San Antonio Elementary, located blocks from Rancho Del Pueblo, will launch our outreach program in September of 2018. Program Manager, Chris Moreno-Hunt says, “we are excited to team up with City Year and introduce our in-school program to San Antonio Elementary. Watching the students shake hands between turns and have fun while playing golf in a school setting is what this is all about. We look forward to our partnership with San Antonio Elementary and City Year.”
