New to the site
I am a newb to this site but I recently met a guy, Jason Anderson, out tossing discs and he said to talk to the owner of Strange Disc Sports. I am a school teacher and have recently received a grant for some travel baskets and a few discs for my school's PE program. I wrote the grant and now all I have to do is teach the sport to my fourth and fifth graders. What I am lacking is some discs. I was only able to write the grand for a couple of sets of discs. Jason said maybe I could get some help in that department, maybe even set up a school visit for training. Either way I could use some help. If you or anyone out there has some discs they could donate that would be super.

Hey Kris! Thanks for replying so quickly. I am not sure about a scope of questions but my goals are simple: I want my 4th and 5th grade students to learn the basics of disc golf. No elementary school kid, although some do, is going to toss 300 plus feet. I just want them to see a basic putting technique, a basic upshot technique and a basic drive technique. My hope is that I can bring in a new crowd of kids who will enjoy disc golf for a lifetime. I need some discs for the students to use as practice. A day in which you could come and demonstrate technique and have fun with the kids is up to you. The bad thing is that the fourth and fifth grade classes go to PE Monday - Friday so demonstrating would take a week which is totally not worth your time. I am going to do my best to work with the fifth grade but I'm teaching during fourth grades PE times. I am also probably going to look into a way in which I can burn some of Discraft's instructional videos on a disc so I maybe can show that. I have a basket in my room and my students already want to take the discs and learn so I feel it will really take off. Any help is much appreciated.
