Use this article when you need to:

  • Create new teams

  • Edit team names or details

  • Organize your program structure before rostering players

  • Ensure teams are properly set up for scheduling and match play


⚠️ Important: When to Use This Article

Use this article if:

  • You are setting up or managing teams in your regular PGA Jr. League program

  • You need to create or update team structure

  • You are preparing your program for player rostering and scheduling


🚫 Do NOT Use This Article If:

  • You are trying to assign players to teams

  • You need to move or roster players

  • You are working with an All-Star Team or All-Star roster changes

πŸ‘‰ For those scenarios, use:

  • Roster Players to a Team (PGA Jr. League – Standard Program)

🧭 Key Concept: Team Setup vs Player Rostering

  • Managing Teams = Creating and organizing team structures

  • Rostering Players = Assigning players to those teams

πŸ‘‰ This article focuses only on team setup, not player assignment


Why Team Setup Matters

For parents and players to see events and schedules in the MyPGA app, Coaches must complete all three steps:

  1. Create Team page(s)

  2. Roster players to those Teams

  3. Add each Team to the scheduled events

If any of these steps are missed, event schedules will not appear in the app for families.


How to Manage Teams


Step 1: Open Your Program

  • Log in to your PGA Jr. League Coach dashboard

  • Select your program

  • Navigate to the Teams tab


Step 2: Create a New Team

πŸ’‘ Repeat this step to create multiple teams within your program


Step 3: Edit an Existing Team

  • Select Edit

  • Update:

    • Team name

    • Any available team details

Important

Ensure Schedules Appear for Parents & Players
​
If parents or players report that schedules are missing in the app, confirm the following:
βœ… Teams have been created and saved
βœ… Players are rostered to Teams
βœ… Teams have been added to each scheduled event
βœ… The event schedule has been saved and published
​
Schedules will not display unless Teams are explicitly assigned to events.


How Team Setup Impacts Your Season

Proper team setup is important because:

  • Teams must exist before you can roster players

  • Teams are used to generate schedules

  • Teams determine how players are grouped for matches and league play

PGA Jr. League uses a team-based format, where players compete together in structured matches throughout the season.


Best Practices for Managing Teams

  • Create teams before assigning players

  • Use clear, consistent team names

  • Plan team structure based on:

    • Number of players

    • Age divisions (e.g., 13u, 17u)

    • Balanced competition
