We are proud to be a part of some amazing success stories with the participants of our Chapter.  The kids of our community have received college scholarships, made their school golf teams, made Eagle Scout, and won golf tournaments.  But some of the things that we are just as proud of is how they excelled in their personal lives.  They have made the A/B Honor roll in school, won robotics competitions, and bravely tried out for school programs outside of their comfort zone.  They also showed tremendous respect and courtesy towards their family and fellow First Tee participants.  We have some fantastic kids and our community should be very proud and excited about their future. We became active in The Metro Tour, a junior tour designed to give our kids the chance to showcase all of the golf and life skills they have learned during their time in First Tee.  This tour allows our kids to play with others from our neighboring Chapters at some great golf courses.  They learn how to play with strangers, keep score, play by the rules, be aware of pace of play, and also improve their game in a competitive atmosphere.  It is fun watching them feel the pressure and then embrace their new friends and opportunities. Our community has also joined in supporting First Tee Prince William County.  Companies such as GEICO, Dick's Sporting Goods, Lockheed Martin, Golf Galaxy, Wegmans, Indigo Golf Group and many more have all shown they believe in our message.  We could not be successful without the support of the individuals and families in No. Virginia.  Their time, expertise, and passion for helping all kids is remarkable and appreciated.

Even during these crazy pandemic times, our programs have been full every week and the need to socialize and communicate face to face has never been stronger.  Our School Program is being taught by the amazing P.E. teachers in 34 PWC Elementary Schools and will reach more than 23,000 students.  We have assisted many of these schools in promoting the health and wellness of our kids at an early age. Being physically active and learning social skills is more important now for this new generation.  Our teachers should be praised at the role they play in keeping them physically and mentally engaged.
