What is E.D.G.E.?
The Educational Disc Golf Experience (E.D.G.E.)
has been developed to provide schools and other
youth programs with a sound program of teaching
disc golf fundamentals and allied skills. Contributions
from current and former World Champion disc golfers,
several educators, a World Cup ski champion turned
disc golfer, a mathematician, and a recreation
therapist have injected a great variety of skills
and approaches to bringing this subject matter
to life. With lessons linked to everyday classroom
topics, E.D.G.E. helps students understand the
importance of math, science, citizenship, fitness,
nutrition, and environmental studies, as they
apply to disc golf. Resource materials, lesson
plans, student worksheets, and related materials
are available for varying grade levels. Our goal
is to provide you with a program that can help
students enjoy this wonderful lifetime sport and
thereby gain the benefits of both physical and
mental exercise that it can provide. We also hope
that students that take up the sport will involve
their families and friends and that all will benefit
by better health, fitness, and social awareness.
E.D.G.E. also includes an outstanding program
of positive reinforcement awards, known as SkillShot.
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.
Equipment and supply packages are available for
the Elementary, Junior High, and High School program
levels and included everything needed for a sound
disc golf program, that will be highly recognized
by physical education teachers, health educators,
and administrators alike.
