An Up and Coming Lifetime Activity - Disc Golf






A lifetime activity that continues to grow within the state of Vermont, Disc Golf provides our middle school students with the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors here in Vermont. The activity is very similar to the game of golf. The object for this lifetime activity is to throw your disc, and continue to throw from the point at which your disc stops on the ground, until your disc is thrown and caught by the chained basket at the end of the hole. We are lucky enough to have a 12-hole disc golf course right here at the school. Students work towards making a backhand and forehand throw with a mature pattern. Next, we discuss proper disc golf etiquette and respecting others on the course. We apply these two learned skills as students play through our 12-hole disc golf course. A great way to spend a few days outside in the fall here in Vermont.
