2025 Winter Clinics, Spring & Fall Classes
Life Skills + Golf Skills = Game Changers

Jr. Club Sets – Borrow vs Rent
What do we do if my participant(s) doesn’t have their own golf clubs?
Don’t worry, we are able to provide all equipment needed for participants! Your participant has the options to Borrow or Rent clubs, see below for details :
Borrowing Clubs
Our chapter will always have a variety golf clubs available each week during class for participants who do not have their own. We have golf clubs for both righty’s and lefty’s and participants of all heights.
Rental Clubs
Our chapter has a Jr. Club Rental program as well, where you can rent a set of $10 for the entire session of your program (e.g. 1 session of classes is 8 weeks). Participants who rent sets are RESPONSIBLE for bringing their clubs to and from class each week. The rental clubs are then collected during the final class of the session.

Your participant is REQUIRED to attend a minimum of 5 classes each session in order to receive Financial Assistance in the future. Please note, our Attendance Policy is due to limited class sizes.
WAITLIST POLICY
Each program has a limited number of spots, based on the number of coaches available. If a program is full and there are still available spaces on the waitlist, you are able to add your participant to that list. Waitlists are on a first come first serve basis. If a space becomes available in a class and your participant is next on the list you will receive an email asking you to complete registration.
Please note the following about waitlists :
- You may only add your participant to ONE waitlist – we have limited spaces available
- Waitlists are on a first come first serve basis
- Adding your participant to a waitlist does NOT mean they are registered

- If you do not compete registration within the 48 hours, the program will be removed from your cart, marked “ABANDONED” and you spot will be lost
- If a space becomes available in your desired class and you receive your email to complete registration, BUT your participant is already registered for another:
- You MUST email the Program Director, Dana Schoenbach – dana@thefirstteegreaterwilmington – who will then transfer the completed registration to the desired class
- This ensures parents are not paying multiple registration fees for one class

DROP-OFF & PICK-UP POLICY
Drop-Off – Participants MUST be walked from the parking lot to their class’s meeting spot with coaches! Unless a participant drove themselves to class, they MUST be accompanied by a parent prior class beginning.
Pick-Up – Parents MUST walk to the meeting spot to pick-up their participants. Unless a participant drove themselves to class, they will NOT be dismissed to the parking lot to meet their parents at the car.
* If a participant is going to be picked up by someone other than their own parent/guardian, please be sure to email Dana Schoenbach, Program Director [email protected] and let coaches know upon arrival *
** Please note that our #1 priority is participant safety – we’ve seen too many cars flying through our parking lots to allow participants to walk off while still in our care. **
