Hassan II Kids Cup by First Tee

The Hassan II Kids Cup by First Tee was held on Wednesday, February 5th, on the Green Course of the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. Nine teams, each made up of two children from the national First Tee program, were joined by a player from the PGA Tour Champions or a player from the Ladies European Tour to challenge each other in a fun and educational atmosphere.

The introduction of the First Tee program, initiated by His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, President of the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (FRMG), was an opportunity to provide Morocco with a successful example of integration and education through golf, complementing existing golf schools. First Tee, very popular in the United States, is a non-profit organization founded in 1997, aimed at teaching life skills and values through the practice of golf.

In 2019, the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation signed a partnership with First Tee USA, allowing the launch of the Morocco “Chapter” under the label “First Tee Morocco.” This project has allowed young people to thrive and acquire skills that are valuable in their personal academic journeys. This initiative has strengthened the educational and formative role of golf, helping young people develop a sense of responsibility and values toward others. Since joining, Morocco has continued to significantly develop the First Tee program. To date, over 240 young people from 7 First Tee Morocco chapters have successfully benefited from this program in the cities of Rabat, Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, Saïdia, Casablanca, and Ifrane.
