TGA Premier Junior Golf

What TGA Premier Junior Golf does

TGA Premier Junior Golf operates a national youth sports franchise delivering structured athletic programs for children ages 4-14 across four sport verticals: golf, tennis, pickleball, and athletics. The company is organized as TGA Franchise Systems, LLC, headquartered in New York, and functions as a subsidiary of Youth Athletes United — a multi-brand youth sports platform that also owns Amazing Athletes and Soccer Stars. Programs are delivered locally by independent franchisees at schools, community centers, parks, and golf courses through four program formats: after-school enrichment sessions (6, 8, or 10-week cycles), week-long summer/day camps, 1-3 hour clinics, and recreational leagues and tournaments. The Player Pathway system sequences participants from Fundamentals through Developmental to Competitive levels, creating a structured retention funnel.

The company's core technology is a proprietary, age-specific curriculum that uniquely integrates athletic skill development with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) academic concepts — for example, teaching concepts like gravity, force, compression, and geometry through sports activities. Differentiated proprietary features include the STEAM-integrated curriculum, age-appropriate equipment (scaled clubs, racquets, and balls for children), and the Player Pathway progression structure. Curriculum content has been developed with education experts and sports professionals, including a specific pickleball curriculum co-developed with Franklin, a core pickleball equipment partner. The company also operates a centralized online registration portal (registration.youthathletesunited.com) and a branded e-commerce store for equipment and apparel.

TGA's revenue model is a hybrid of franchise economics and direct consumer fees. The franchise arm generates revenue through initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties from local operators; franchisees in turn collect session-based program fees from parents (subscription/recurring model) and one-time camp, clinic, and league fees. Institutional revenue is captured indirectly when schools and PTAs purchase after-school enrichment, recess, or field-day programming delivered on-site. An ancillary revenue stream comes from direct e-commerce sales of branded youth sports equipment and apparel. The company markets through content (blog, email newsletter), organic social media, school/PTA partnerships, word-of-mouth referrals, and a dedicated franchise sales motion targeting prospective franchisees. Corporate headcount is small (1-10), consistent with a franchise-system headquarters model where operational delivery is decentralized to franchisees.
