Hierarchical Structure

FGSA's decentralised membership framework is built on a three-tiered hierarchical structure, designed to ensure efficient governance and local representation:

National Level

At the apex, FGSA provides overarching guidance and sets national policies.

Provincial Structures

Nine provincial structures form the middle tier, coordinating efforts across their respective regions.

Regional FootGolf Clubs

52 Regional FootGolf Clubs constitute the foundation, operating within defined geographic areas aligned with provincial boundaries.

This structure balances centralised policy-making and localised implementation, ensuring that FootGolf development is tailored to regional needs while maintaining national standards.

Geographic Distribution

FGSA's reach extends across South Africa's diverse landscape, encompassing all nine provinces:

Gauteng
Limpopo
Free State
Western Cape
Eastern Cape
KwaZulu-Natal
Northern Cape
Mpumalanga
North West

Within these provinces, 52 Regional FootGolf Clubs are strategically distributed to ensure comprehensive coverage and accessibility. This geographic spread allows FGSA to cater to the unique needs and characteristics of each region, promoting the growth of FootGolf across varied terrains and communities.
