2009 ODSA RADD Camp Tour
Through funding provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, ODSA has hired 3 Community Outreach Coordinators to travel throughout Ontario from late June through early September teaching youth at day & residential camps and Aboriginal communities. All corners of the province will be covered as instructors introduce game fundamentals and play for both Disc Golf and Ultimate. During each visit, instructors leave behind apparatus and teaching materials for communities and camps to use to keep play underway and to guide further instruction. This is ODSA's third year of providing outreach programming. To date, our Regional Athletic Disc Development (RADD) Tour has taught over 20,000 students at schools throughout the Province. Our aim is to reach 5,000 additional youth over the course of summer 2009. We will keep you posted on our results! Stay tuned!
Resource Centre
Make sure you check out our new online Resource Centre - your gateway to links and overviews to help elevate your game and stimulate growth. Existing and potential Club Leaders now have easy access to a wide range of great information on Risk Management, Corporate Governance, plus a number of other online resource booklets provided by the Centre for Sport and Law. Visit Club Resources for a complete tool box. We've posted a generic set of Bylaws and Constitution to help clubs that may want to incorporate and become non-profit entities. You'll also find a variety of Disc Golf and Ultimate brochures in various sizes that can be downloaded and distributed. Customizable posters will be uploaded shortly to enable you to promote your league, event or tournament. A number of different versions will give you a choice of template formats and images. Let's us know if there's something else out there that we should be including!
