Welcome to the 4th annual Alberta Junior Provincial Disc Golf Championship - NORTH LOCATION. We welcome all juniors from across the province (and out of province!) to come challenge yourself and become Alberta's NORTH JUNIOR champion! We are having NORTH and SOUTH tournaments this year.
Congrats to Nolan Litvak on last year's win! Will there be a repeat champion or will we see a new champion crowned!?
Here is a video overview of the Fox Hill Disc Golf Course in Fort McMurray, AB:

Determining PDGA Playing Age:
A player's official PDGA Age is based on their year of birth, NOT their birthday. So whatever age they will be on their birthday during the calendar tour year is their PDGA age for that entire calendar tour year and determines their eligibility for age-based divisions.
Example:
If a 10 year old player will turn 11 at anytime during the calendar year, their PDGA age is 11 for that entire calendar year so they must play in a Junior ≤12 division (or higher).
So they could do MJ12, MJ15, MJ18.
They cannot do MJ06, MJ08, MJ10.
The 'M' means mixed, so any gender can sign up.
There are also the female divisions if one chooses those (e.g. FJ10).
As per PDGA rules anyone younger than 13 years must be chaperoned by an adult (PDGA Competition Manual...1.13 Youth Safety, Sec B.).
Although a two or three round tournament, in line with PDGA policy, participants age 10 or under can choose to play one round (PDGA Competition Manual...1.13 Youth Safety, Sec E.). HOWEVER, let us know ASAP if that is your preference (email:
YWxiZXJ0YXlvdXRoZGcgfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ==). As much as possible please try to complete at least one full 18 hole round, preferably round 1.

+ 2025 Most Improved Player Award (For divisions playing 2 rounds) +
Last year, the 2024 Most Improved player award went to Jake Wells! Congrats!
This award goes to the player showing the biggest percent improvement from the last year 2024 AB JR Championship scores. Basically, with some spreadsheet help, we turn the 2024 scores into a percentage grade (compared to par) and do the same on tournament day for 2025. The youth with the biggest gain when comparing the two will be the winner -- and they should, as they improved the most! Must have played all two rounds in 2024 and must play all two rounds in 2025.
+ 2024 AB JR Points Champion +
2023 Points Champion was Conall McLeod!
With 2024 all wrapped up, we will honor the 2024 Alberta JR PDGA points champion. The PDGA assigns points when playing in sanctioned events and they build up throughout the season. A high number of points means the person has played a lot of tournaments, played in more difficult tournaments or played in higher divisions or a combination.
