About
THE ORGANIZATION
The York County Junior Golf Association (YCJGA) was established in 1980 and officially became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2002. The organization is dedicated to providing kids ages 8 – 18 an opportunity to learn the game of golf, hone their skills, practice in a tour environment and be eligible for scholarships as they age out of the tour or graduate high school.
We provide affordable opportunities for junior golfers to learn the game in a competitive, yet supportive environment, while promoting character development consistent with our core values.
We are committed to upholding the high-quality standards and sportsmanship that are the cornerstones of the game while giving young golfers a summer activity that will advance and enhance their play on their school’s golf team and/or give them a better chance of earning a spot on the team.
Our primary focus is providing golf education and experience for York County youths and we do so with a two cornerstone programs:
1) The YCJGA Tour – a professionally conducted series of eight (8) 18-hole tournaments held at different courses in the York area from mid-June until late July. Players compete in 5 different divisions including a 9-Hole division. The tour is open for boys and girls ages 8 – 18. Prizes are awarded for the top 3 players in the 18-hole divisions at each event. Top players have the opportunity to earn a spot at our season ending “Ryder Cup” Tournament.

2) The Next Gen Tour Program – this program is all about Building Golf’s Future with Today’s Youth for boys and girls ages 8 – 13 just learning the game of golf… The up-and-coming golfers. During this summer golf camp, kids learn from top area golf professionals along with YCJGA alumni. It’s a 7-week program with sessions 2x/week. Parents can choose one or both days of the week.
