Squad Throws – Pre Season

Training is always on regardless of the weather & conditions but of course modified as appropriate for optimal safety and health of everyone. Wet weather program is under review.

I try and observe and correct every athlete during the session.

I can cover, correct & improve a lot more in private sessions – contact me for details.

Throws coaching covering all junior throws – javelin, discus, shot put
Hammer coaching available on request in private sessions

It gets dark before 6pm.

Safety :
Make sure that no one is in range if you are throwing anything (use cones)

Sun session works on fundamental throws movements with less throwing
Both are important …
As the throws group is getting larger, I highly recommend private sessions for best technique improvement

Note that for LA Vic combined events :
5 Events : U9-U13 : girls – shot, boys – discus, 1 day event
6 Events : U14 : girls – shot, boys – discus (add high jump), 2 day event
7 Events : U15-U17 : girls – shot, boys – discus, both sexes add javelin, 2 day event

Note for AV / AA combined events, all are 2 day events :
