Teaching disc play can range
from the "basic" to the "ultimate" The key is to discover the areas
you feel most comfortable within and bring this "fun zone" to your
students. I will teach you how to create a great class, using disc
skills that lead to fantastic games and activities that create a true
learning environment. A disc class is a creative format to level the
playing field for all your students. Learn to incorporate other
disciplines into a physical education class. With this class and your
