This article explains how returning PGA Jr. League Coaches can publish new programs for an upcoming season or year, including how program years, Code of Conduct acceptance, Safety Requirements, and assistant coach access are handled.
⛳ 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 new program do?
Publishing a program:
Makes it visible on PGAJrLeague.com
Allows families to plan ahead, even if registration opens later
Enables registration once all requirements are met
Returning coaches create new programs each year rather than reusing prior-year programs.
How to publish a new program
Step 1: Log in to your dashboard
Sign in to your PGA Jr. League Dashboard.
Step 2: Access your Locations
Locate the tile labeled PGA Jr. League Locations
Click View Locations
A Location must be created before a Program can be created or published. See the article Create a "Location" for details.
Step 3: Create a program
Find the applicable Location
Click Create Program
Each program is tied to a specific Location.
Step 4: Set the program year
The Program Year will default to the current year
Step 5: Complete the Program Form
Fill in all required program details, including division, dates, and registration settings.
Step 6: Save or publish the program
Click Save to keep the program in draft status
Code of Conduct & Waiver (important)
The registered PGA Coach for a Location must publish the first Location and Program of the new year
When publishing that first program, you will be prompted to accept the new annual Coach Code of Conduct and Waiver
This acceptance is required before programs appear publicly
Safety Requirements
Safety Requirements must be completed and current for the new year
If renewal is required, programs will not appear publicly until safety requirements are passed
Abuse Prevention Systems Training (APS) and Background Screening (BGS) are valid for two (2) years and must be renewed upon expiration.
Once completed, your program will appear on PGAJrLeague.com.
Assistant Coaches (annual reset)
Location Managers
After the first program of the new year is published:
Location Managers can be invited
They must accept the email invite and re-accept the annual Code of Conduct
Once accepted, they regain full access and can publish additional programs
Program / Team Managers
Program and Team Managers must be re-invited for each new program or team
They accept the annual Code of Conduct when accepting their new invite
Managing multiple programs (common scenarios)
You can publish multiple programs at a Location, including:
9u, 13u, and 17u divisions
Multiple seasonal programs (spring, summer, fall)
Programs scheduled later in the year may:
Appear on PGAJrLeague.com early
Have registration set to open at a later date
This helps families plan ahead while keeping registration timing flexible.
If your program isn’t visible yet
Confirm the program status shows Published
Verify the Code of Conduct has been accepted for the new year
Ensure Safety Requirements are complete and current
Allow time for updates to appear publicly
If issues persist, contact PGA Jr. League Support through Intercom.
