Perspectives on ODSA Mix of views of ODSA: positive or neutral Good at:

Getting organised, grants, RADD tour, multi-discipline

Could improve at: Communications, program development,

engaging the big leagues, and the Board


8

Opportunities Promote, grow the sport NSO roles (LTAD, NCCP, mentor other P/Ts) Governance document templates for clubs Standardized disc golf course layout Summer youth camps, championships Rostering or ranking players Provincial championships


9

Obstacles Player apathy/ image of the sport Not enough staff to make things happen Big leagues lack of buy-in; unclear benefits


10

Revenue Generation Opportunities Grants; membership Sponsorships Selling merchandise Hosting championship tournaments Partnership with big leagues “Introduction

to…”


11

Sustainability of fees Not sustainable in the long term Need to create value and obvious benefit Small number thought they were realistic,

some did not know fees


12

Final Comments Good job so far; RADD tour is good Critical, but willing to participate to help

improve the PSO
