Disc golf

#frisbee#sport#outdoors

Disc golf means a calm pace and fresh air, but also turn-taking, rules and eighteen baskets to find. Pictures showing the rhythm of the course let the child focus on the throw. See the steps below.

About this visual support

On a disc golf course there is no ball rolling at you, no referee blowing a whistle and no team racing past. That makes the sport a good choice for many children who find team games too much at once. But the course has its own structure: who throws first, where to stand while others throw, how to find the next tee and how to keep count.

Visual support makes that structure easy to follow. A short row can show choose a disc, stand at the tee, throw, wait for your turn, walk to your disc and drop it in the basket. When the child knows that waiting is a step of its own, it becomes easier to tolerate. It also becomes clear when one hole is finished and the next begins.

A practical tip is to keep count on a small scorecard with pictures, so the child can draw one line per throw instead of holding the numbers in their head. Start with six holes rather than eighteen. If you want to plan the round as part of the weekend, you can add it to Routined and try the app for 14 days at no cost.
