TGA Premier Sports Central Coast in Ventura, was recently launched by Kristin Hatfield, a local executive, inventor, entrepreneur, working mom and lifelong athlete, as a way to give back to the community that helped shaped her passion for sports and its many rewards.
Having seen the impact and successful engagement the national initiative TGA Premier Sports has had in other communities, Hatfield recently decided it was her time to give back. “TGA is a community of people who are giving back to our youth in our local communities. I want to show up and be there for local children,” she says. “I want to be the first person who puts a golf club or tennis racquet in a child’s hands while impacting them through education and being active.”
Built on a sustainable, scalable model of before- and after-school enrichment programs and local sports camps, TGA Premier Sports has become one of the nation’s most impactful developers of community-based sports programs for kids ages five to 12. . On pace to enroll its one-millionth participant by 2020, TGA’s youth sports “delivery system” brings groundbreaking PhD-authored classes directly into schools, community parks and recreation centers with a program that fights youth inactivity and obesity and empowers kids through involvement in sports programs that combine academics and life skills.
With Hatfield’s new franchise, hundreds of youngsters will be impacted through golf, tennis and team sports like beach volleyball in and around California’s Central Coast. “When children learn and play sports, they begin to build and nurture skills that allow them to strive to become our future leaders. Through TGA’s dynamic curriculum, we incorporate station-based skill development activities, STEAM Labs to explore educational concepts through the sport of golf, and key life lessons including teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, and leadership,” she adds.
On November 8, TGA Premier Golf Central Coast made a splash in the community, hosting a Family Golf Outing at Olivas Links Golf Course in Ventura. A portion of the funds raised from the event benefited the Pierpont Elementary School Parent-Teachers Association, the Mound Elementary Parent Teachers Organization and the 501c3 TGA Sports Foundation which provides After-School Enrichment Scholarships for local students.
