Coaching Points

- Arm position

- Upper body position

- Eyes looking to where we want to throw

- Hand that is not holding the javalin ( or small ball), should be pointing where to throw

- For the 3 strides - start in the position for the standing throw

- Step forward onto the leg opposite to the throwing side

- Take a second step with the other leg

- Transfer the body weight from the throwing side across

- Moving the body weight from back foot to front foot

to the other leg on the last step.

High and Low

Set Up

- Define a square with sides of five metres and place a hoop in each corner and a extra one in the middle.

- Set up four benches parallel to the sides of the square about ten metres away.

(If outdoors, cones could be used to mark where the benches belong and just one

bench or some chairs could be used for the seated throw).

- Split the class into four groups with one group at each of the four stations.

- Each student in the class has a beanbag and on command aims to throw their beanbag

into the square or hoop. 5 points for the square, 10 for the hoop. Studentn rotate

around the stations, adding up team scores as they go.

- The activity encourages Students to understand how throwing positions affect how

we apply force to a throw.

Progressions

- Make the area bigger,

- Change their start positions
