💙 SLA TIP OF THE WEEK – JAVELIN BASICS! 🚀

With our U11 Girls and Boys starting jav for the first time this season we thought some tips might be helpful!

Javelin isn’t just about throwing as hard as you can! Good technique, timing and control can make a big difference to your distance.

Here are some simple tips to help you improve your throw! 💪

🤚 1. GET YOUR GRIP RIGHT

Hold the javelin comfortably around the cord grip, keeping your hand relaxed but secure.

🏃 2. BUILD A SMOOTH APPROACH

Start with a controlled run-up. Focus on rhythm and balance rather than running as fast as possible.

🎯 3. POINT TOWARDS YOUR TARGET

Keep the javelin aligned with the direction of your throw. Good body positioning helps you throw accurately and efficiently.

💪 4. USE YOUR WHOLE BODY

A powerful throw starts from your legs and hips, not just your arm! Transfer your momentum through your body into the javelin.

🚀 5. RELEASE AND FOLLOW THROUGH

Release the javelin smoothly, with the tip pointing in the direction of the throw. Keep your balance and stay behind the foul line.

⚠️ SAFETY FIRST!

Always wait for an official’s instructions before throwing or retrieving a javelin. Never throw unless the landing area is clear.

🌟 REMEMBER: Distance comes with good technique, not just strength. Focus on improving one part of your throw at a time!

🏃‍♂️SLA TIP OF THE WEEK - WHERE SHOULD YOU LOOK WHEN SPRINTING? 👀

Did you know that where you look when running can actually affect your speed, balance and technique?

Here are a few simple tips to help you sprint your best!

👀 EYES FORWARD!
Once you’re upright and sprinting, focus your eyes approximately 10–20 metres ahead, rather than looking down at your feet.

🧠 KEEP YOUR HEAD STEADY
Try to keep your head in a natural position, in line with your body. Looking too far up or down can affect your running posture.

😎 STAY RELAXED
Keep your face, jaw and shoulders relaxed. Unnecessary tension wastes energy and can slow you down!

🏁 RUN THROUGH THE FINISH LINE!
Keep your eyes forward and maintain your speed all the way through the finish. Don’t look sideways to see who’s beside you!

💙 Remember: During your first few accelerating strides, it’s natural to look slightly down as your body leans forward. As you straighten up, your gaze should gradually lift too.

🌟 EYES UP. RUN TALL. GO FOR IT!

Give these tips a try next Saturday at Waratah Oval!
