First Tee Week (May 23-30) is a nationwide celebration of everything the First Tee stands for: the game, the mission, and the coaches and instructors who show up every day to build character in young people. Here in Southeast Wisconsin, we’re marking the week with a Registration Rally, a celebration of our coaches, and an open invitation to the community to get involved.
Register This Week and Support the Mission
Summer programs are open and registration is now live at firstteesoutheastwisconsin.org/register. During First Tee Week, every new registration triggers a $5 donation from an anonymous donor to First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin, and every new registrant is automatically entered to win a First Tee Week Prize Package.
Programs are available for young people ages 4-18 at sites across Southeast Wisconsin, including Noyes Park, Brown Deer Park, Currie Park, and Dretzka Park in Milwaukee, Rolling Meadows in Fond du Lac, and Washington Park in Kenosha.

This Year’s Theme: Dear Coach
The 2026 First Tee Week theme is “Dear Coach,” and it’s a fitting one. The coaches and instructors of First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin show up season after season to do something that goes far beyond teaching golf. They build character. They model resilience. They help young people develop the confidence and values they’ll carry for the rest of their lives.
Their dedication is a big reason we served 45,514 young people through First Tee programs last year, and why on-course participation nearly doubled between 2018 and 2025. That kind of growth doesn’t happen without people who genuinely care about kids.
If a First Tee coach has made a difference for your family, this is a great week to let them know. Visit firstteesoutheastwisconsin.org/dearcoach to learn more about the Dear Coach theme.
