The Greene County Youth Athletic Association recently announced that they are expanding their newest program to all of their grade levels.
GCYAA President Travis Warnke is excited to bring the youth golf program from kindergarten through fifth grade that will begin next month. He tells Raccoon Valley Radio they recently wrapped up an initial program with the company First Tee for 6th-8th graders. Warnke points out they now have the proper equipment for k-5th grade and are wanting to start that program in August. Warnke talks about giving more kids the opportunity to learn this individualized sport.
“We really want the kids to learn the fundamentals, proper etiquette on the course, learning to be coachable, things like that. That’s really what all of our programming is about. So First Tee fit perfectly into that, love getting golf here.”
Registrations will be accepted through July 31st with multiple morning sessions from August 2nd-5th and space is limited to the first 12 participants per session. Registration fee is $25 and the program will take place at the Jefferson Community Golf Course. All equipment will be provided. Click the link below to sign up.
