FTSV Fall Season – Register on August 13th

(FTSV Fall Season – Register on August 13th – Published 8/7/25) Save the Date – Registration for our fall season opens here on Wednesday, August 13th at 11am and closes on Thursday, August 28th at 11:59pm.

The 8-week fall season begins the week of September 9th and ends November 1st. Register on August 13th and take part in engaging and fun life skill and golf skill classes at either Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course in San Jose, Baylands Golf Links in Palo Alto, or Gavilan College Golf Course in Gilroy.

Classes are broken down by grade groups, so feel free to invite a friend and take part in our fall classes together.

Financial aid is available. We make our programs accessible to youth of different backgrounds and perspectives and affordable to families experiencing financial hardship.

Each week our participants experience one of our 6 Life Skills and 6 Golf Cues. Our life skills cover everything from showing respect, to collaborating with others, making good choices, building a positive self-identity, growing through challenges, and setting goals.

Repetition is encouraged in our program. Many of our high school participants have taken classes each of the past 5+ years. As participants get older and develop through our program, they are challenged to set and pursue goals. The longer they are in the program the more goal setting becomes part of their identity. Through our games and activities, we explore how to make short term goals, how to set reachable goals using our 3 guidelines, and how to categorize their short-term goals to assist them in tracking their progress. What’s important to us is that our participants learn those skills while having fun and making friends.

In 2025, we had a record number of registrations in the fall, so please mark your calendar for August 13th to make sure you secure your spot. Click here to see our 2025 fall class schedule.

We encourage youth 2nd grade and above to join our program and ask that you help spread the word. Visit our Course Programs Page for detailed information.

Collaborating with Others

Each week our participants experience one of our 6 Life Skills and 6 Golf Cues. Our life skills cover showing respect, pursuing goals, making good choices, building a positive self-identity, overcoming challenges, and collaborating with others. Our classes consist of group classes (and range from 5 participants to 16 participants) because we believe in the power of working together, and in the positive benefits that come from building a supportive group and peer environment.

Within our Collaborating with Others life skill our participants learn to be aware of how others are feeling, to ask questions and actively listen in order understand others, to see differences as a value, and to seek win-win solutions during conflicts. All of these are important for navigating social situations, and for building effective people skills eventually needed in life and the work.

Over 97% of our surveyed class participants said they felt part of the group. We believe that is in part because of the environment our coaches help provide, but also because of the participants and how they treat each other.

We look forward to having returning and new participants team up and join us for the upcoming winter season. We encourage youth 2nd grade up to 12th grade to join our program and ask that you help spread the word. For more information click here.
