Frequently Asked Questions

Disc golf is a low-impact game that can be played for an entire lifetime. Designed with everyone in mind, disc golf can be played by people with disabilities and people non-disabled. Lastly, disc golf is one of the most affordable sports to play because courses tend to be free and discs can cost as low as $7. Overall, disc golf is the perfect game for everyone.

Introducing a disc golf curriculum at your school brings many benefits. Disc golf is like taking a nature hike with a purpose. Whether playing alone or with a group of peers, disc golf aids in reducing stress, promotes individual growth, increases community engagement, and gives students a healthy lifetime activity to play. In addition, disc golf helps prevent childhood obesity. According to the CDC, the percentage of obese young people is 18.5%. Among low-income students, that percentage is higher at 18.9%. EDGE gives educators the ability to empower our youth with a low-cost, fun, accessible lifetime game.

Our goal is to introduce every young person to the lifetime game of disc golf.
