COACH’S COMMENTS
“… When I think about where we started and where we are now, it’s pretty exciting. This started as an idea to get some students interested in disc golf and give them something different to be involved in. I don’t think any of us really knew how much it could grow or what it could turn into.”
“… We’ve been able to get students involved, get support from the school and community, and start building something that hopefully continues to grow for years to come.”
“… One thing I really like about disc golf is that it’s a sport where just about anybody can participate. You don’t have to be a great athlete or have any experience. You can pick up a disc, learn as you go, and find something you enjoy.”
“… I’m probably most proud of the fact that we’re creating opportunities for kids that they might not have had otherwise. It’s not just about playing disc golf. It’s about giving them something to be part of, learning the game, building friendships, and hopefully developing a hobby they can enjoy for the rest of their lives.”
“… We’ve still got a long way to go, and there are a lot of things I’d like to see us accomplish. But when I look at how far we’ve come from where this all started, I’m pretty proud of what we’ve been able to put together.”
“… I want to give a big shoutout to local communities and businesses who have supported us so far. Also a big shoutout to the 3 LC Grads who really got the ball rolling in pushing this last school year. Owen Pack, Ryland Brady, Aiden Mynheir.”
