PLAYer Level
For ages 7 through 18, youth progress through levels by
demonstrating First Tee Nine Core Values, life and golf skills
as well as passing an assessment.
All participants regardless of age start at the PLAYer level.
The pinnacle of the First Tee is completing Ace.
PLAYer (required minimum age 7). Tee it up for the
first time and learn the game of golf and the First
Tee’s Code of Conduct.
Par (recommended minimum age 9 and successful
completion of the PLAYer level). Focus on interpersonal
and self-management skills on and off the course.
Birdie (recommended minimum age 11 and
successful completion of the Par level). Emphasis
on setting goals and making them a reality.
When moving through the program participants have a
plethora of added benefits once reaching the Par Level
(2nd level) and above. Our partnership with the Kansas
City Golf Association and Youth on Course provide youth
in the Par Level and above a free handicap index and
membership to Youth On Course (a $40 value), included
in their program registration, which allows participants to
play over 20 golf courses in Kansas City and surrounding
areas for just five dollars per round.
On a national level, local participants of the First Tee
of Greater Kansas City have the option of applying for
special opportunities to improve their life skills and
golf skills gained. Of the ten opportunities, the one that
stands out the most is the Pure Insurance Championship
benefiting the First Tee, where participants have the chance
to play the number 1 golf course in America, Pebble Beach
and are paired with PGA Tour Champions players while
being televised on the golf channel.
Remaining in the First Tee as a participant can serve very
beneficial as participants look to higher education. Through
a grant, on behalf of the First Tee of Greater Kansas City’s
founder, the late Al Hoffman, high-school students have the
opportunity to receive a college scholarship for excellent
participation in TFTGKC. Overall, of participants in The First
Tee 96% of teens in our program say their golf skills have
improved and 90% of our alumni consider themselves
lifelong golfers and beyond golf 80% of teens and alumni
say The First Tee helped them become a better student.
