Representing Australia in green and gold on the world stage is one of the most rewarding experiences in the sport. It lifts your game and creates lifelong bonds with teammates as you support each other to compete at your best. Team selection is overseen by a selection panel appointed by the ADG Board, guided by criteria and policy set by the High Performance Committee.

About the World Team Disc Golf Championships
The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) runs the World Team Disc Golf Championships (WTDGC) as a bi-annual international event. Previous WTDGC have been held in Canada, Great Britain, Estonia, Croatia and Perth, Australia. Australia’s best result to date was a silver medal finish in 2024.
WTDGC organising body WFDF is the international sports federation responsible for world governance of flying disc sports, including disc golf, ultimate, freestyle and others. Recognised by the International Olympic Committee, The International World Games Association, and other world sports bodies, WFDF represents over 100 countries.
The team championships present a rare opportunity to play disc golf in a team environment and to represent your country on the international stage. To incorporate teamwork the event has a matchplay format with both singles and alternate shot doubles matchups. Another important aspect of the competition is that teams record scores for their opponents in Spirit of the Game (SOTG) categories. The spirit score incorporates knowledge of the Rules, Communication and Behaviour. At WTDGC in Croatia 2022, Australia was the spirit award winner.
More information about the event can be found at www.wtdgc.sport and facebook.com/wfdf.wtdgc.
How the team is selected
Ahead of each WTDGC cycle, ADG calls for expressions of interest for three roles: Selector, Player, and Team Manager. All roles are chosen by a selection panel based on a set of criteria and the selection policy established by the High Performance Committee.
Selector
A selection panel consisting of 3–5 people is appointed by the ADG Board in consultation with the High Performance Committee. Their role is to identify and recommend athletes for team squads and national teams and support staff. Selectors should have experience in disc golf, be familiar with current players, be in good standing with ADG, and have other relevant experience. The panel is chosen based on the EOIs received to ensure it is representative of player groups and regions. The High Performance Committee provides guidance and resources to the selection panel, which is required to work and meet (online) with the other selectors in the lead-up to selection.
Player
Team composition requirements (minimum numbers per division for the Open and Masters teams) are set for each cycle based on the event format. The Australian team is selected based on who expresses interest, player ability, and team composition considerations. For the full selection criteria and process, see the current selection policy.
The team fee for the event is covered by ADG. All other expenses (player fees, travel, accommodation, food, insurance) are to be covered by the players. Selected players are required to pay a deposit, with further details on expected costs and behaviour set out in the team agreement for that cycle.
Team Manager
The Team Manager is responsible for the overall administration required for the team to participate in the event, plays an important role in team selection, and provides leadership in all matters relating to team performance. This includes:
- Organising team registration for the event
- Organising the design and manufacture of team uniforms, including compliance with federal government requirements for use of the Australian coat of arms on national team uniforms
- Planning travel and accommodation
- Working with the team captains and overseeing player selection for matches during the event
- Participating in team selection
- Providing social media content — including videos and photographs — to help tell the story of the Australian Disc Golf Team
The team fee for the event is covered by ADG. All other expenses (travel, accommodation, food, insurance) are to be covered by the Team Manager.
High Performance Committee
The ADG High Performance Committee (HP Committee) provides advice to the ADG Board to assist with the selection, administration and performance of the Australian disc golf team. They have developed the selection policy and oversee its implementation, guided by their terms of reference and by experience and feedback collected from previous campaigns.
2026 committee: Kingsley Flett, Jonathan Jonas, Aaron Moreton
