At First Tee – Pittsburgh, the Game Changer Award recognizes participants who exemplify our core values through their character, leadership, sportsmanship, and commitment both on and off the course.
This year, coaches from each region—North, South, East, West, City and Community—will nominate one male and one female participant in each age division (7–10, 10–13, and 13+) who have demonstrated the qualities of a true Game Changer throughout the year.
These nominees represent some of the most dedicated young people in our program and serve as role models within their communities. Their actions reflect the values and life skills that First Tee strives to instill in every participant.
During the Tee It Forward event, we will celebrate all nominees and announce the 2026 Game Changer Award recipients, recognizing one male and one female participant in each age division. Join us as we honor these exceptional young leaders and their impact on First Tee – Pittsburgh and beyond.
