play and work at it the better you get.”

One barrier to starting new clubs within the school system is often finances. However, the disc golf club has received support from Dynamic Discs. The Emporia company helped design the club logo, which now appears on discs provided by Dynamic Discs as well as shirts and bumper stickers.

Between the starter discs provided by Dynamic Discs and those donated by Emporian Art Palafox, the club is off to a great start. The club first began meeting in September and already has 35 students actively playing with another 30 who have expressed interest but are currently playing other sports. The disc golf club will be active year round, which will give student-athletes the opportunity to play with the club between sports practices.

Currently, the club meets and plays one time per week, but Acosta said additional times may be added as interest increases. The students are in close proximity to two disc golf courses — one at Emporia Middle School and another at Flint Hills Technical College. The courses provide the students a chance to get outside and enjoy the game.

“It’s just nice to get out and enjoy a game,” Acosta said. “We help each other, and even if younger people want to come we are happy to help teach them.”
