Hassan II Kids Cup by First Tee

The Hassan II Kids Cup Pro-am by First Tee will be held on Wednesday, May 20, on the Green Course at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. Nine teams, each made up of two children from the national First Tee program, will be accompanied by a PGA Tour Champions player or a Ladies European Tour player to compete in a fun and educational atmosphere.

The introduction of the First Tee program, on the initiative of His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, President of the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (RMGF), was an opportunity to provide Morocco with a successful example of integration and education through golf and through a system that complements existing golf schools.

First Tee, which is very popular in the United States, is a non-profit organization created in 1997 that aims to teach life skills and values through the practice of golf. In 2019, the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation signed a partnership agreement with First Tee USA, enabling it to launch the Morocco Chapter under the name “First Tee Morocco.” This project allows young people to flourish and acquire skills that will benefit them in their personal academic careers.

This initiative has therefore strengthened the educational and training role of golf, helping young people to develop their sense of responsibility and values towards others.

Since joining, Morocco has continued to significantly develop the First Tee program.

To date, more than 240 young people from 7 First Tee Morocco locations have successfully benefited from this program in the cities of Rabat, Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, Saïdia, Casablanca, and Ifrane.
