Community Connect 22: Jonesboro Open

Jonesboro CC

Our fourth stop on the Disc Golf Pro Tour Community Connect brings up to Nettleton High School in Jonesboro, Arkansas!

Jonesboro Student Putting

The weather was nice enough for our first outdoor Community Connect of the year. We taught over 200 students the ins and outs of our sport and saw TONS of smiles, improvement, and joy from the kids! We even got some of the teachers and school staff putting and driving!

Uplay Coaching Team Jonesboro

Coaches Zoe Andyke, Dustin Keegan Cynthia Ricciotti, Cole Redalen, Ella Hansen, and brand-new to the Uplay teaching scene, Luke Humphries, were on-site CRUSHING the teaching. We even got to work with members of the school's disc golf club for some advanced instruction!

UDisc Donated Discs Jonesboro

We gave away hundreds of discs courtesy of UDisc to bring our total up to 1,175 disc given out to students!!

Discmania discs and basket Jonesboro

A big thank you to Discmania for donating starter sets and baskets to the school to continue to use for future generations of students!
