The season may be over but that doesn’t mean you should ever stop learning and trying to better yourself!

Research Study on Effects of Thumb Position!

The study investigated the effects of thumb position on applied torque, launch speed, and spin rate in backhand throws of a mid-range disc, and the TLDR summary is something like:

(1) Throws with higher spin rates tended to have higher throw speeds.

(2) A thumb position about 3 cm (or just over an inch) from the edge of the rim showed the most favorable combination of average launch speed and spin rate.

Here’s a link to the original study:

This Sunday we will be doing something a little different for league. We ordered a bunch of mini disc's and will be doing a disc dying class. PLEASE WEAR CLOTHING THAT YOU WONT MIND GETTING DYE ON! Parents will be encouraged to help their kids during this process. There will be no charge for this! This is possible through the generous donations of our sponsors. Thanks again to Holy Moley Brewing Company, Family Values Lawn & Garden, Haff's Hot Sauce, Sweet Rain BBQ, One Stop Flooring, Campbell Creek Pretzels, and Custom Needle-Print LLC! Without your contributions to this league, this would not be possible. Also, don't forget that this Friday will be our 1st Glow Night of the season. This will be an all ages event but you will need glow disc's. If you do not have any, please reach out to myself or one of the other coaches and we can get you some loaners.
