Disc
Golf Courses: EDGE - Disc Golf Education Program
Educational
Disc Golf Experience
EDGE, the Educational Disc
Golf Experience, has been developed
to provide schools and other youth programs with a sound program
of teaching disc golf fundamentals and allied skills. With lessons
linked to everyday classroom topics, EDGE helps students understand
the importance of math, science, citizenship, fitness, nutrition,
and environmental studies as they apply to this lifetime sport.
Resource materials, lesson plans, student worksheets, and related
materials are provided for varying grade levels.

EDGE also
includes an outstanding program of positive reinforcements,
known as the SkillShot™ Awards.
Developed in conjunction with Disc Golf United, these
awards recognize increasing levels of shot-making
ability and are designed to develop a well rounded repertoire
of throws for the player. Certificates and embroidered
patches are awarded to the player at the various
levels,
and their name is listed on the Honor Roll at the
official EDGE web site. Equipment
packages designed to meet the needs of varying programs and
budgets are available. These range from “in-the-ground,” park
quality courses with all the equipment needed to
run a school and community program, through portable set-ups
for schools that wish to store the equipment, to
collapsible
target packages for the itinerant educator. Everything
is high quality, tournament approved, and will ensure
that your students have a top-notch experience.
From introducing this sport to young players, to
reinforcing classroom skills through a new activity,
to developing
lifetime habits of exercise and fitness, EDGE is
designed to give teachers and youth program leaders
the tools
they need to succeed. Please visit our web site
for examples of equipment packages and information on
how you can become an EDGE Partner School or Youth
Organization.
