Parent Handbook

• We ask parents take their player to the restroom at the facility prior to class.
• Parents MUST accompany participant(s) to the check-in area. If it is someone different than the person dropping off, parents/guardians must communicate to the coach who is responsible for picking up participant that day.
• After the participant is checked in for the class, they will find a seat in a chair or seating area designated for their class.
• Once check-in of the participant is completed, parents/guardians may leave the area or watch the class from a reasonable distance, enough to avoid interacting or distracting the group. 
• Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own water bottle, but we will have water available as well.
• We appreciate snack donations, but ask that they be individually wrapped and avoid sweets/unhealthy foods. Recommended snacks include: Goldfish, fruit snacks, granola/fig bars, skinny pop, etc.

• Parents are asked to be on time for check out
• Parent’s must wait OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM or SEATING AREA for their son/daughter and check-out each participant before they are dismissed.
• Participants must remain in designated classroom/seating area until parent arrives for pick-up.
• When class is over, please make sure to park your car and walk to the checkout area to pick up your child(ren).
• Participants will not be released from class until a parent/guardian (or designated pick-up person) is physically present.

Because of the importance of following these Rules & Expectations of the First Tee – Orange County, players who do not take responsibility for their actions will experience the following consequences:

• First action:  Warning
• Second action: 2nd Warning
• Third action:  5 minute “break” from the activity. The player will be asked to think about how they will demonstrate the core value of respect of others by following the rules to keep everyone safe and healthy when they come back to the group activity.
• Fourth action:  Immediate removal from the facility…Parents will be contacted and will be expected to pick up their player.

If disruptive behavior, not in line with the life skills and key commitments of the program persists over multiple classes, we reserve the right to have your child discontinue their time in class for the remainder of the session. No refunds will be honored in this situation.

• The lead coach of your child’s class will send an email and/or text message if class is cancelled. If you do not hear from the coach in one of these methods, please assume class is on as scheduled.
• We will do our best to make-up cancelled classes but will not be issuing refunds.
• We do NOT allow participants to attend a different class during the week if he/she is unable to attend their regularly scheduled class because most of our classes are at maximum capacity and we need to keep class sizes and coach:participant ratios consistent. Thank you for understanding!
