Who are we?
The BDGA is the governing body of the sport of disc golf in the UK. We are a group of volunteers aiming to increase participation in grassroots efforts, help clubs and other groups grow the sport, and facilitate competition of amateur and professionals players in the UK. Find out more about us on our new website:

Why are we crowdfunding?
We are crowdfunding to help pay costs for the selected team players. Since the competition is in Perth, Australia, travel costs are quite expensive as are team and player fees, accommodation costs and team kit.
How we’ll spend the money raised
We plan on spending the money raised on team kit, team and player fees, help with accommodation costs, and other various fees incured by the players.
Community impact
Supporting our international team players is a crucial part of this crowdfunder. Many players might be put off by the expenses of representing the team as it can be quite pricey. This will hopefully encourage more people to put their names forward for future competitions as they won't be responsible for all costs related to being a member of the team.
