The First Tee uses the game of golf to teach young people life skills that allow them to face challenges at home, school and play in a constructive manner.  The skills they learn include problem solving, goal setting, time management, controlling one’s emotions, working well with others and improving relationships with family and community.  The First Tee is more than just a place to learn the game of golf.  The First Tee provides opportunities for young people to experience a positive, safe place, surrounded by caring adults.  They learn the value of giving back to their community and the meaning of responsibility and respect. 

Community Family Fun night is Friday, August 12, 6-10 p.m. This will be a fun night for everyone!  We will have area vendors, food, free games for kids, Schwan’s Truckload Sale and of course Golf!

The goal of the 1st Serve Tennis program is to improve the health and well-being of our youth by introducing tennis as a “sport for life.” Tennis is an inexpensive way for youth to have fun and exercise at the same time. The Staff and volunteers of 1st Serve use the Quick Start Format with the support of the Western Arkansas Tennis Association (WATA) and the Arkansas Tennis Association. The Quick Start Format teaches the fundamentals of tennis quickly with heavy emphasis on fun and group activities, as opposed to formal instruction and drills. Registration fees only cover a portion of the overall expenses to fund the 1^st Serve Summer Tennis Camps. Additional funding through corporations and individuals are needed. The expense of the program includes administration, instructors, transportation, racquets for first-time participants, tennis balls and t-shirts. If you are interested in being a corporate sponsor of one or more camp participants or would like to make a donation of any amount, please call us or mail (with a notation) to FCA.

Ages 5-16

Camp Fees
$27.50 (includes racquet)
$20.00 (does not include racquet)
$5.00 discount for each additional child
