ABOUT TGA
LIFE LESSON THROUGH SPORTS: BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF PLAYERS & PEOPLE
Over 20 years ago, TGA began with a simple idea: introduce kids to golf and tennis in a way that's fun, accessible, and educational. We started with a single program in one school hallway. Today, we're the nation's go-to brand for youth golf and tennis, operating 56 franchise locations with passionate owners who share our belief that sports change lives.
TGA is the leader in youth golf and tennis, serving as the go-to provider of introductory and recreational programming for these lifetime sports. We designed a curriculum that helps young players progress their skills while providing a clear pathway for growth—from their first swing or serve to confident on-course and on-court play.
Our mission drives everything we do: teach life lessons through sports.
DEVELOPING THE WHOLE PERSON & PLAYER
When a child who's never held a golf club sinks their first putt, something shifts. When a shy student high-fives a teammate after a tennis rally, confidence builds. These moments—repeated across thousands of sessions—shape how kids see themselves and what they believe they're capable of achieving.
Every TGA tennis and golf program delivers three core benefits:
- Athletics: We help kids embrace active, healthy lifestyles while realizing their athletic potential through proper skill development and progressive programming.
- Academics: We use athletics to encourage exploration and learning, incorporating educational lessons into every session.
- Life Lessons: Our values promote teamwork and individual growth by teaching leadership, sportsmanship, and perseverance.
This Teach, Grow, Achieve framework sets us apart. Our station-based programming allows mixed-ability groups to play together and feel successful, while our non-competitive environment encourages every child to develop at their own pace.
MEETING COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY ARE
Golf and tennis have traditionally lived behind gates—country clubs, private facilities, expensive lessons. TGA Premier Sports broke that model by bringing these sports directly into schools, community centers, and park districts. We teach putting fundamentals in gymnasiums. We run tennis drills on playgrounds. Kids learn in familiar, comfortable environments before ever stepping onto a formal course or court.
This indoor and outdoor flexibility isn't just convenient—it's transformational. Over 250,000 children have discovered golf and tennis through TGA, many of whom never imagined these sports were for them. Now they're playing sports they'll enjoy for decades.

OUR PROGRAMS
Every child had a different skill and experience level, which is why TGA offers a variety of programs to help develop their skills, including enrichment classes, camps, clinics, and more.
Every TGA program begins with a dynamic warm-up, a discussion about life lessons, and a review and introduction of new skills and techniques. Students then rotate through stations, learn the rules and history of the sport, and explore STEAM concepts through gameplay. Finally, students apply the lessons learned with group games and skill challenges.
