Each of the courses participating in the MGA junior program has a team representing it in district play. A district is composed of four to seven courses. Three districts make a region. A different course hosts a district event each week. District play lasts for four weeks.
Teams can vary in size each week.
The team totals are taken from the three lowest out of five scores shot from the boys and two lowest out of three shot by the girls. Once that is completed, the top finishing girls and boys teams and the top five finishing boys and top three finishing girls, not on those teams, advance to a regional tournament. A junior must submit at least two scores during the four weeks to qualify as an individual. Those juniors in the regional event face teams and individuals from two other districts. Once again, the top teams and top five boys and top three girls, not on the top teams, move on to the next round of play, the MGA Junior Championship.
