Our Philosophy

Without caring mentors, positive youth development just doesn’t happen. At First Tee — South Puget Sound we take coaching seriously. We believe that a meaningful, quality relationship between coach and participant is vital to our program.

“Young people don’t care what a coach knows until they know a coach cares.”


As you consider volunteering for our chapter, know that the safety of our kids is our first priority.  Please read our Prevention Policies to see how we conduct programs and activities at our chapter. Prevention Policy

On the Course Volunteer Opportunities

First Tee — South Puget Sound currently has more than 30 part-time coaches signed up, including PGA and LPGA pros. We are looking for volunteers to help support the lead coach at one of our 14 programming locations, but you don’t have to be a golf pro or even a good golfer to volunteer. First Tee — South Puget Sound is looking for passionate community leaders to help impact the youth in our community.
