The HealthierU Employee Wellness program is excited to announce that we are offering the first HealthierU Disc Golf League this summer. The league will be divided into two separate divisions: beginner and intermediate/advanced. The beginner league aims to invite employees who are new to the sport of Disc Golf and are interested in learning more while competing in a fun and beginner-friendly level of competition. The intermediate/advanced division aims to provide a higher level of competition to participants who have experience playing Disc Golf. For more information about each division please refer to the division description and schedules below. There is a $5 participation fee that will need to be paid upon registration. HealthierU is teaming up with the Lincoln Flying Disc Club to help support participants of all skill sets.
