What is Coaches’ League
Five Lead Coaches (Sami, Matt, Ted, Sophia, and Rex) from First Tee – Orange County each selected 10 participants ages 7-18 to represent their team in a series of on-course competitive matches in 2026 (March-November).
The teams are now finalized for 2026. If your child is not a part of a team but would like to be considered as a one-day fill-in/sub, please reach out to Program Director Jason Reddick at [email protected].
If your child would like to be eligible to be selected for a team in 2027, please know he/she will need to have completed at least 2 sessions of classes/camps in 2026. Tryouts for the 2027 teams will be held in January 2027.
