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 SkillShotT . 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.
