We’re excited to invite your school to take part in an upcoming Schools Disc Golf Tournament at Queens Park! This event is a fun and inclusive way for students to enjoy friendly competition, teamwork, and the outdoors. The tournament will be played in a doubles format, with teams of two players.

Course Information:
Please note that holes 1 and 2 at Queens Park are currently unplayable due to tree removal. As a result, the event will start near Hole 3 (formerly Hole 2’s basket).  We’ve added a couple of new holes to complete a full 18-hole layout. The course can comfortably accommodate up to 72 players. If we have fewer entries, we’ll use the traditional 16-hole layout instead.

Touch Tag- Year 7-10

  • Entry: Feminine Hygiene Product
  • 4-a-side Touch Tag games with relaxed rules and optional subs
  • Live Music: Energetic tunes played throughout the day to keep vibes high
  • Positive Coaching & Support: Friendly facilitators, no referees, no pressure

Schedule:
Players will compete in two rounds, with a lunch break between rounds. Each round is expected to take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. This event offers a great opportunity for students to learn new skills, develop teamwork, and have fun in a supportive, outdoor environment.

We are still looking at a team focus where students enter with their own teams. They will enter through the coordinators and if teams can select their own names so they can be identified.

These events are about participation and maybe trying a new sport and just participating in one the students have already been involved in. The key focus for the day is for the students to have fun in a social setting.
