"Building healthier, happier communities through disc golf education for all."
Uplay Disc Golf is a nonprofit built on one simple belief: disc golf can change lives by creating more movement, more joy, more connection, and more opportunity in communities everywhere.
Our Mission:
"To promote health and well-being and enhance communities through disc golf education for all."
How It Started
Uplay began with a passion for teaching and a belief that disc golf could be much more than a sport. It could be a vehicle for confidence, community building, outdoor learning, and lifelong well-being.
Founded by touring professional and former physical education teacher Zoe AnDyke, Uplay grew from hands-on teaching experience and a desire to make disc golf easier for schools, teachers, and communities to share.
What started as a grassroots effort has grown into a mission-driven organization serving schools, teachers, youth, families, and community leaders through education, equipment, and support.
Our Story
Uplay was created to make disc golf more accessible, more welcoming, and easier to teach. We believe one simple disc can create a moment of joy that stays with someone long after the lesson ends.
Through schools, community events, teacher trainings, and partnerships, Uplay helps people experience disc golf as a lifelong activity that builds confidence, connection, and belonging.
Today, Uplay continues to grow by empowering local leaders with the tools, curriculum, and support they need to keep disc golf alive in their own communities.
Disc golf creates confidence, joy, and connection for players of all ages.
