This article explains how new PGA Jr. League Coaches can publish programs so they appear on PGAJrLeague.com and accept registrations. It also covers best practices for managing multiple programs, locations, and future seasons.
⛳ Create a Location Before Creating a Program
Before creating a PGA Jr. League Program, a Coach must create a Location for the physical facility where the Program will take place, such as a golf course or club. Every Program must be assigned to a Location.
A Location can contain multiple Programs, including seasonal Programs offered in the spring, summer or fall. Programs are tied to a calendar year, so new ones must be created each year, even when the facility stays the same.
The Head Coach must create the first Program for the current calendar year. Once both have been created, an Assistant Coach assigned the Location Manager role can create additional Locations and Programs.
What does “publishing a program” mean?
Publishing a program makes it visible to parents and players on PGAJrLeague.com and allows them to register for your season.
A published program will not appear publicly until all required setup steps are completed.
Before you publish (important prerequisites)
Before publishing a program, you must:
Create at least one PGA Jr. League Location
Decide how you will collect coaching fees (online or offline)
Complete all required Safety Requirements
Programs will not be visible to consumers until Safety Requirements are complete and approved.
Abuse Prevention Systems Training (APS) and Background Screening (BGS) are valid for two (2) years and must be renewed upon expiration.
