Frisbee Golf

Frisbee golf is a great sport for people of any age, ability, and gender. The game relies on one’s ability to throw a disc with power and accuracy. The object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest total number of throws of the Frisbee. Similar to the traditional golf game, a course is composed of a number of holes, in which each player begins by throwing from the “tee” or landmark on campus, and completes the hole by landing in or striking the target usually another landmark on campus. The total score for a course is determined by totaling the number of throws made on each hole. The winner is the player who completes the course in the fewest number of throws...or whoever has the most fun! Everyone is welcome to play young and old alike will love this game.

Hot Shot Youth Basketball Competition

Kids who will be in the 8th grade or below can compete in a Hot Shot shoot-out in Hahn Gymnasium. Hosted by women’s basketball coach Greg Mittelsteadt and members of his team, prizes will be awarded for winners in the different age groups.
