Drive4Success After-School Program
What is Drive4Success?
Drive4Success is an after-school program that takes place at Wake County Title I elementary schools. The participants like to call it their “golf club,” where they get to learn, play, and make new friends in a safe space. The kids meet in a classroom during dismissal to engage in a lesson on one of our Key Commitments, and then they head outside to learn the fundamentals of golf through fun, interactive games. Parents pick up their child in carpool after the program.
The sessions consist of eight 90-minute classes that take place on the same day each week. First Tee — Triangle trains school staff to deliver the program. Your child will learn basic golf fundamentals such as putting, chipping, target awareness, and distance control, while learning about the Key Commitments required to become a Game Changer. We use Short Golf equipment, which is modified to ensure success among our beginners.
All activities will take place at the school** and equipment will be provided. No golf experience is necessary! Times and dates vary by school. All participants can register for free.
*Note: Students may only participate in the program at the school where they attend. For example, Brentwood students cannot participate in Walnut Creek’s program.
