Are you open to disc golf getting younger?
The jury is still out as to what kind of sport disc golf is going to be. Is it going to have wide parental buy in like baseball, soccer, and football? Or will it be a fringe sport like skateboarding? The only way for disc golf to rapidly grow is for it to get younger.
To make disc golf younger through community mindfulness, junior opportunities and junior-first disc golf content
We see three ways we can make disc golf younger.
First we want to increase community mindfulness. For more families to plug into disc golf, disc golf courses and events have to become safer and more age appropriate environments. Second we want to build junior opportunities. We want more courses to have junior layouts, more tournaments and leagues specifically for juniors, and more junior friendly disc golf gear. Finally we want to create amazing junior-first disc golf content. More kids will get into disc golf if there‘s great online coverage of the junior disc golf scene.

If You’re a Community Leader
Your disc golf community can make a broader and more formal commitment to junior disc golf. If you want to be a hotspot for junior disc golf, we want to help you do that. We have an extensive roadmap for getting more youth disc golfing in your community. We want clubs, stores, and governing bodies to code NEXTGEN into their bylaws and we will help you do this.
We Want to Run 100 Junior Only Events
We’re working on setting up leagues, clinics, and tournaments for Juniors in our community. We’re also working on creating a team version of disc golf aimed at juniors to allow wider community buy in. All of these countries towards our goal to run 100 junior disc golf events. With this experience, we hope to train other community leaders on how to increase junior opportunities in their areas.
