Description
Disc golf is inherently one of the most accessible sports in the world. It can be played immediately by anyone who can throw a frisbee and take a walk, and courses can even be made accessible to wheelchair users, people with visual impairments and a wide variety of other groups.
Since the majority of courses are located in public parks, disc golf does not cost anything to play. As long as someone can make it to a course and either buy or borrow a frisbee, he or she can play disc golf.
This course will explore various ways in which disc golf coaches and other interested parties can utilize this extreme accessibility to create inclusive sports opportunities that actively encourage underrepresented groups to come out and participate.

The contents of this course have been developed in the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 project "DISCKids"
