The First Tee Golf Program

In partnership with Rolling Meadows Golf Course & The First Tee
The First Tee coaches are trained to create positive relationships that inspire youth to discover their individual potential. Our programs help young people build confidence, develop respect and appreciate the value of giving back to our community all while learning the lifelong sport of golf. The First Tee emphasizes Nine Core Values: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment. 

Rookies Tee Ball

This beginner level class is designed for kids just beginning in the sport of baseball. Kids will learn the fundamentals of baseball; catching, throwing, fielding balls, hitting off tees or pitched balls, and base running. Kids will be divided into groups to allow for more opportunities during drills. Volunteer coaches are welcomed and encouraged. The first 10 minutes of the session will be a parent/kid catch and throw warm up. Each participant will receive a voucher for a free ticket to a Dock Spiders game. T-shirts with a Y and Dock Spiders logo are included with registration. 

Summer Basketball Lessons (PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE)

YMCA offers the chance to gain knowledge, skills, and develop a bond with the game of basketball. We will help young athletes reach their potential and achieve their athletic goals.

Time & date will be scheduled with you and the instructor. Lessons are geared toward middle to high school students, but open to grades 3 & up.
