Need to Know for 2026 PGA Jr. League

PGA Jr. League offers powerful programming that you can easily tailor to fit the needs of your players, facility, and community. That will continue in 2026, with a few important updates designed with coaches and players in mind.

⛳ 2026 PGA Jr. League program registration begins on Nov. 4 for you, and player registration will open on Jan. 5, 2026, for families.
Beat the end-of-year rush and start creating your 2026 programs as early as possible. Sharing important dates with families now can help ensure they keep PGA Jr. League in mind as they plan for 2026. You can order the 2026 team kits as early as January 6, 2026.

🏌️Introducing a new division: 9u!
The 9u division is tailored for players ages 4-9, providing a fun, age-appropriate introduction to the game. Built on the principles of the American Development Model (ADM), it’s designed to keep kids engaged, learning, and loving the game—setting them up for a lifetime in sport.

👕 Fresh fits are on the way!
Updated jerseys and team kits are on the way for 2026. Expect fresh looks highlighting PGA Jr. League brand colors and everything you need to make your players feel and look like a team. Uniforms will reflect U.S. sizing standards.

REMINDER: 2025 TEAM KITS
As you close out your 2025 PGA Jr. League seasons, please remember that the last date to order 2025 Team Kits is Dec. 12! Please make sure your players have registered by that date.

💵 The 2026 #GameChanger Club fee is $120.
The #GameChanger Club fee, which is paid annually by players and their families, includes:

• Unlimited participation in as many PGA Jr. League seasons as your players and their families want in 2026.
• Custom uniforms and gear pictured above.
• Exclusive offers and promotions available only through PGA of America partners via PerkSpot
• League management software through the PGA mobile app
• Background Screenings and APS training for all coaches and assistant coaches

💵 Change in Processing Fees
This year, your customers will no longer pay a processing fee at checkout. Instead, it is included in the #GameChanger Club fee amount, and 3% will be deducted from your coaching fee payout––similar to other PGA Coach transactions. Therefore, please incorporate this 3% processing fee into your coaching fees.

The 2025 PGA JL Game Changer Awards will be presented on Thursday, January 22nd, 2026, at 9:00 am at the PGA SHOW in Orlando, FL.
