Understanding PGA Jr. League Registration Fees
PGA Jr. League registration costs may include two separate fees:
#GameChanger Club Fee
Coaching Fee
These fees are handled differently during registration and follow different refund rules.
⛳ #GameChanger Club Fee
The #GameChanger Club Fee is a one-time annual fee that covers the player’s official PGA Jr. League Team Kit and membership benefits.
The Team Kit includes:
customized jerseys
hat or visor
bag tag
drawstring bag
sticker
additional team gear
The #GameChanger Club membership is valid for the full calendar year (January–December).
Players only pay this fee once per calendar year, allowing participation in multiple PGA Jr. League programs during the same year without paying the fee again. Additional programs joined during the same calendar year typically require only the Coaching Fee.
⛳ Refund Rules for the #GameChanger Club Fee
Before the Team Kit Is Ordered
The #GameChanger Club Fee is refundable until the Coach submits the Team Kit order.
At this stage:
custom items have not yet entered production
the registration remains eligible for refund review
After the Team Kit Is Ordered
Once the Coach submits the Team Kit order:
the $120 #GameChanger Club Fee becomes non-refundable
customized merchandise enters production with the manufacturer
This policy applies because the Team Kit includes customized items produced specifically for the player.
Important:
After Team Kit submission, parents/guardians needing different jersey sizes, replacement items, or corrected customization must purchase replacement items separately.
Parents/Guardians can purchase replacement jerseys and Team Kit items through the Macron Parent Replacement Storefront.
Coaches should not place orders through the Parent Replacement Storefront. Coaches needing Assistant Coach jerseys or other special Team Kit assistance should contact PGA Jr. League Support for purchase information.
🏌️ Coaching Fee
The Coaching Fee is separate from the #GameChanger Club Fee.
This fee is paid directly to the Coach for operating the program. Each Coach independently determines:
the Coaching Fee amount
how the fee is collected
refund eligibility and timing
Because of this, Coaching Fees vary by program.
🏌️ How Coaching Fees Are Collected
Online Coaching Fee Payments
Some Coaches collect the Coaching Fee during PGA Jr. League registration checkout.
In this case:
the Coaching Fee is paid online together with the #GameChanger Club Fee
the funds are transferred to the Coach through connected payment systems
Offline Coaching Fee Payments
Some Coaches collect the Coaching Fee outside the registration system.
Examples may include:
cash
check
Venmo
other direct payment methods
If this option is used, no Coaching Fee is charged during online registration. The Coach will provide payment instructions separately.
🏌️ Refund Rules for Coaching Fees
All Coaching Fee refunds require Coach approval.
How the refund is processed depends on how the fee was originally paid.
Online Coaching Fee Refunds
If the Coaching Fee was paid online during registration:
PGA Jr. League Support processes the refund
Coach approval is required before the refund can be issued
This is because online Coaching Fee refunds are withdrawn directly from the Coach’s connected Stripe/bank account. Confirming approval helps ensure the Coach is aware of the refund and has sufficient funds available.
Offline Coaching Fee Refunds
If the Coaching Fee was paid directly to the Coach outside the registration system:
the Coach is responsible for issuing the refund directly to the parent/guardian
the Parent/Guardian should contact the Coach to request a refund
Refund Processing Time
Once approved and processed, refunds typically appear in the original payment account within 4–6 business days.
Processing timelines may vary depending on the financial institution.
