Little Athletics

IntroductionNathalia Little Athletics Club Incorporated (NLAC) provides Track and Field activities for boys and girls in age groups Under 6 to Under 16. NLAC is one of 21 Little Athletics Centres in Northern Country Region (NCR). There are seven Regions (3 Rural and 4 Metropolitan) in Victoria.The governing body for Little Athletics in Victoria is Little Athletics Victoria (LaVic). NLAC is affi liated with LAVic. The National body is Little Athletics Australia.Listed below are useful links and email addresses:NLAC · Website www.nathalialac.com.au · Email [email protected] · Website http://lavic.com.au/Northern-Country-RegionLaVic · Website www.lavic.com.au · Email offi [email protected] was founded in 1992 and originally ran from the Nathalia High School oval before transitioning to the current location at Nathalia Recreation Reserve.

How we run:Each week we run a session on a Wednesday night, Set Up 4.00pm, Announcements and Awards 4.45pm, Warm Up and Coaching 5:00-5:30pm, Start events 5.30pm. It is all run voluntary and therefore we rely very much on parent support, helping out with the recording and measuring of events, organising/guiding a group through each event, and setting up the events. You will have a great time as you watch your child and other children improve from week to week.

Parent Helpers:You can help a number of ways. Each childs’ results need to be measured and recorded at each event. It is great to have at least 3 parents to a group. This will make measuring and recording that much easier.

What knowledge do I need:None! In the fi rst few weeks we will run sessions that will give you the basic knowledge that you will need to help out with the events: How to measure, where races start, etc. (If you are unsure of anything throughout the season please ask).

Weekly events:Included in the handbook is a list of programs that will be run. All events for each age group are listed. If rain causes a week to be cancelled that program will be run the following week. This will allow all events to be run.

Nathalia Little Athletics Handbook 1

Levels of participation:It’s great to see your children out there having fun and being involved in sport. If your child wishes to take the event further, they can compete in events such as Open Days and Regional Events. An Open Day is an event put on by athletics clubs. Anyone is able to attend as long as you register your child. There is a small cost associated with each event. The children have a chance to win medals and have a great time interacting with other kids from other clubs.

Volunteers: How you can help- Getting out equipment from the sheds and setting up the events. If you’re not sure

what goes where, ask a committee member (they will be wearing a purple little aths shirt).

- Taking an age group, helping to record, measure and organise the group in their events.- Help in the kitchen.If in doubt, ask how you can help out!

Rained out events Please check Facebook or Team App for all up-to-date information. Local schools will also be contacted if the session is cancelled. Alternatively please call Doug Cobbledick 0487 608 095.

I


CCoaches Code of Conduct

Be reasonable in your demands on young athlete’s time, energy and enthusiasm. Teach athletes the rules of the sport are mutual agreements, which no one should evade or break. Whenever possible, group athletes to give a reasonable chance of success. Avoid over-coaching the better performing athletes, the “just average” athletes need and deserve equal time. Ensure any physical contact with athletes is appropriate to the situation and necessary for the athlete’s skills development. Avoid situations with your athletes that could be construed as compromising. Remember that children participate for fun and enjoyment and that winning is only part of their enjoyment. Never ridicule or yell at the children for making mistakes or losing an event. Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of the athletes. Take into consideration the maturity level of the children when scheduling and determining the length of training times and competition. Coaches should never solicit, whether overtly or covertly, or by actively recruiting athletes who are already being coached to join their squad. Develop respect for the ability of opponents as well as for the judgement of officials and coaches. Follow the advice of a physician when determining when an injured athlete is ready to recommence training or competition. Make a personal commitment to keep yourself informed of sound coaching principles and the principles of growth and development of children. Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour, by not harassing athletes, other coaches or officials, smoking on the arena or being intoxicated. Not publicly criticise or disagree with the work of other coaches. Hold a current Working with Children Check

1. Avoid use of bad language.


OOfficials Code of Conduct

Compliment all participants on their efforts.

Be consistent, objective and courteous in calling all infractions.

Condemn unsporting behaviour and promote respect for all opponents.

Ensure that the “spirit of the game” for children is not lost by using common sense and not over-emphasising errors.

Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of the participants.

Publicly encourage rule changes, which will reinforce the principles of participation for fun and enjoyment.

Ensure that your behaviour is consistent with the principles of good sporting behaviour. Actions speak louder than words.

STARTING

Starters Safety Issues Noise hazard: Caused by the firing of "Cap Guns" means that good quality industrial ear plugs/muffs must always be used. Fire Hazard: The "Caps" used in starting guns are a potential fire hazard and must only be carried in a suitable container such as a leather pouch, plastic or wooden box.

Location of Starter Straight Line: (Laned events up to and including 100m). Located on the infield slightly in front of the athletes to enable all to be viewed at the narrowest practical angle. Staggered Start: (Laned events up to and including 800m). Located in a position so that all athletes are in one line of vision, may need voice amplification to enable athletes to hear starter. Curve Line: (Unlaned events). Similar to above but may need to be located in different position to enable all athletes to be viewed clearly depending on whether the start is on a bend or in the straight.

Note: When the Starter moves to a new position, they need to check with the Timekeepers to ensure that they are clearly visible.

Starting Procedure Starter indicates procedure is about to commence by blowing a whistle, then the start commands as follows:

For laned events: "On Your Marks", "Set", "Start Signal" For unlaned events (including the 800m started in lanes):

"On Your Marks", "Start Signal" Note: Some Centre’s run unlaned events for younger age groups that are 400 metres or less.

All athletes are allowed to perform a standing start for all track events, from U6 – U16. U11 - U16 athletes may use starting blocks if performing a crouch start. Please Note: It is recommended that athletes perform a standing start until they are proficient at crouch starts and then the use of blocks. While U11 athletes can use blocks, most struggle with performing correct crouch starts using blocks, until their U13 or U14 year. It is permissible for the athletes head and torso to be past the plane of the start line. The start signal is not given until the Starter is satisfied that all athletes are steady. If the waiting time for athletes to be steady becomes excessive the command "Stand Up" may be given, this command cancels the start procedure. Additionally obstructions on the track or issues with the starting gun may require the command "Stand up" to be given. If a false start occurs, i.e., one or more athletes gain an advantage ("break" or "fly") a second "Start Signal" is fired to abort the start ("false start" or "recall" signal). The athletes who committed the false start are warned by the Starter and/or Recall Starter, a second false start by any previously warned athlete shall lead to their disqualification.

Note: The number of false starts that leads to disqualification can vary across Centres. For Region & State, athletes are disqualified after 2 false starts.


ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY – RUNNING EVENTS Hearing Impairment

At a higher level of competition a light box can be used to start a race. The box flashes 3 different colours to indicate ‘on your marks’, ‘set’ and ‘go’. At a Little Athletics level, these light boxes may not be easy or necessary to obtain. Instead, an official standing near to starter could give hand signals to start the race. For example, left hand up ‘on your marks’, both hands up ‘set’ and both hands down quickly ‘go’. Another alternative is to have a parent or official standing behind the athlete and simply tap them on the shoulder when the gun goes.

Intellectual Impairment

As per LAVic rules, any athlete may complete a standing start. Visual Impairment

Athletes with complete blindness or a reasonable level of visual impairment, run with a guide (parent, guardian or Centre official). At a National level a tether is held by both the athlete and guide. At a Centre level the athlete and guide can simply hold hands or use a piece of rope as a tether. When starting races, ensure the blind athlete is close to the starter so they hear instructions and the sound of the gun clearly.

Physical Impairment - Amputees, Cerebral Palsy & other limb deficiencies

If an athlete isn’t physically able or comfortable completing the same distances as the rest of the age group, it may be modified. For example, complete the first lap of the 800m event only and record a result for 400m. As per LAVic rules, any athlete may complete a standing start. Athletes with physical impairments may have trouble staying inside the lines in landed events. Provide leniency for this. If an athlete feels uncomfortable, allow a guide or parent to complete the race beside them.

Physical Impairment - Wheelchair Racing

At Little Athletics, athletes do not need to compete in the 3 wheeled racing chairs, they may compete in their standard day chair. Wheelchair racing is conducted the same way as able bodied events with respect to start lines, lanes and cross over points. In Little Athletics athletes racing in wheelchairs may compete with able bodied athletes but all should be instructed to be extra careful of other athletes around them. Wheelchair athletes will generally be slower than the others at the start of the race but will speed up throughout.


TIMEKEEPING

Function To measure the elapsed time between the start and the finish of an event conducted on a track or course.

Note: If Place Judges are being used, Timekeepers will not act as Place Judges.

Definitions Start: The first sign of a visual signal or smoke from the starting device. Finish: When any part of the athlete’s torso reaches the plane of the finish line. Torso: Any part of the body (as distinct from the head, neck, arms, legs, hands or feet).

Officials Required Depends on the type of event, i.e., laned or unlaned, the equipment in use and the associated finishing system employed, i.e., manual (buttons) or automatic (gates), or fully integrated photo finish. Ideally, three Timekeepers record results for first place in manual timing. How these three performances are taken will vary depending on what timing equipment is in use and also whether the event is laned or unlaned/course. If the three performances differ, the middle time is accepted as the "performance" for recording and record purposes.

Preparation Become familiar with the operation of the timing device and practice a few times (see Types of Timing Equipment). Clarify which race and what place you are timing - be alert at all times. The Chief Timekeeper will normally advise when the start is imminent.

Duties of Chief Timekeeper Ensure that Timekeepers are placed in a suitable position Know what place to time Are in line with the finish line Have a good view of all lanes Have a clear view of the starter. For laned events timekeepers are usually in an elevated position on a stand at least five metres from the track. For unlaned events, all timekeepers will operate from the same side of the track and will be in line with the finish line, and if available in an elevated position. Communicate with the Chief Starter or "Track Official" when timekeepers are in position and ready.


It is recommended that officials allow athletes a practice run of two flights before each heat. For older athletes, best/safe practice is to lower the third flight of hurdles so the athletes travelling at the higher speed don’t run into them.

Collapsible Hurdles The hurdles must be made of metal or some other suitable material with the top bar of wood or other suitable material. Hurdles must consist of two feet and two uprights supporting a rectangular frame reinforced by one or more cross bars, the uprights to be fixed at the extreme end of each base. (See below Diagram). The hurdle must be so designed that it will just resist a force of 2-3 kilograms, applied at the top edge of the top bar. The hurdle must be adjustable in height for each event. Hurdles must be of the collapsible type. (Collapsible type means when a hurdle is knocked down it lays flat on the track without any part of the hurdle protruding). Note: For Centres and Clubs, hurdles must be transitioned to the collapsible type by the year 2020.

General Rules The feet of the hurdle will be at right angles to the crossbar and will be placed on the track, so that the edge of the crossbar nearest the approaching athlete coincides with the track marking nearest the athlete. In order for the athletes to check their start and hurdle clearance, athletes are normally permitted a practice trial over the first two hurdle flights. All races will be run in lanes and each athlete must keep to their own lane throughout the race. An athlete who trails a foot or leg below the horizontal place of the top of any hurdle at the instant of clearance will be disqualified. If an athlete jumps any hurdle not in their own lane they will be disqualified. If in the opinion of the Referee or Chief Official, an athlete deliberately knocks down any hurdle, they will be disqualified. The unintentional knocking down of hurdles will not result in disqualification, nor prevent a record being set.

HURDLES

Preparation for Event Ensure adequate numbers of Hurdles (flights) are on the track at the correct distance apart and at the correct height for the age group, (according to specifications on pg. 37). Check the track conditions. In wet conditions, grass tracks in particular can become very slippery, which can make Hurdles a very dangerous event for the athletes. Safety is paramount in all events.


HIGH JUMP

Preparation for Event Ensure that all aspects of landing area and run up are safe for the athletes. Ensure that the brackets that support the crossbars are facing the opposite upright. Allow athletes a practice jump(s) to check their run up if possible. Set bar at correct starting height (see measuring bar height below). The uprights and landing area should be designed so that there is a clearance of at least 100mm between them to avoid displacement of the crossbar through movement of the landing bag coming into contact with the uprights.

Event Safety The uprights may be moved during a competition only if the Judge in consultation with the Chief of Officials or Referee considers the take-off or landing area has become dangerous. The landing area should be maintained in a safe condition. If a number of small bags are used then it should be regularly checked to ensure that there are no gaps.

ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY At a Centre level hurdle heights may be adjusted for athletes with a disability if they feel it is necessary.


Measuring the Crossbar Height The height is checked with the measuring stick perpendicular to the ground to the top of the lowest point of the crossbar, i.e., the middle. The height of the crossbar at the uprights is also taken to ensure that the bar is level. Knowing the difference, i.e., "sag" of the bar is useful when raising the bar as the height at the uprights will be higher than in the middle.

General Rules U8 – U10 Scissors

The Scissor technique is the only allowable technique performed in High Jump for the Under 8, 9 & 10 age groups. The athletes must take off from one foot, clear the bar in a predominately vertical position and the first contact made on the landing area must be made by one or both feet. It shall be a valid scissor jump if all other relevant high jump rules are adhered to, and: a) The head of the competitor does not go over the bar before the leading foot (the foot of the leg closest to the bar at take-off); b) The head of the competitor is not below the buttocks when the buttocks clear the bar, and c) The competitor’s feet touch the mat before any other part of the body.

U8 – U16 Prior to the competition the judges will announce to the athletes the starting height. An athlete may commence jumping at any height above the starting height. An athlete may pass at any height; they do not have to attempt every height. An athlete may pass on the second or third trial at a particular height (after failing the first or second time) and still jump at a subsequent height. Three consecutive failures regardless of the height will eliminate the athlete. At the end of the round the bar should be raised in 5cm increments. When there are 4 or less athletes remaining the increments will be 2cms. The final athlete may continue to jump, at height rises agreed with the Chief Judge or Referee, until the athlete has three consecutive failures. An athlete may approach the bar from any angle. An athlete must take-off from one foot only. If the bar falls after an athlete has landed and left the mat, it MAY still be considered a failure. It is the decision of the judge as to whether contact by the athlete or some other factor caused the bar to fall, i.e. Wind gusts. If the athlete touches the ground including the landing area beyond the vertical plane through the nearer edge of the crossbar, either between or outside the uprights with any part of his body, without first clearing the bar it is considered a failure. However, if when the athlete jumps, they touch the landing area with their foot and in the opinion of the Judge, no advantage is gained, the jump for that reason should not be considered a failure If the athlete touches the crossbar or the vertical section of the uprights when running up without jumping, it is considered a failure. The rule does not apply to touching a base plate. If an athlete fails to commence an attempt within 30 seconds of their name being called by the Official in charge, a failure will be recorded. An athlete may abort an attempt (baulk) as many times as they like provided that the final attempt is commenced in 30 seconds. When there are only two or three athletes left, the time allowed is 1 min 30 seconds and when only one athlete is left the time allowed is 3 minutes. In the case of consecutive trials, athletes are allowed two minutes. These are maximum times and athletes are encouraged not to delay the event.

LONG JUMP

Preparation for Event Ensure sand in the pit is level with run-up. Sand may need to be watered if it is dry. Allow athletes a practice jump(s) to check their run up if possible. Markers (max 2) are to be available/distributed to all athletes to mark their run-up. The distance from the edge of the pit to the front edge of the take-off area for: U6-U8: should not be less than 500mm or more than 2 metres. Take-off area: (mat, sand, tape or board):

U6-U8 1.22m x 1.0m mat with thin layer of sand

U9-U10 1.22m x 0.5m mat with thin layer of sand U11 and above 1.22m x 0.2m tape/board

Note: If the runway is less than 1.22m wide the width of the mat should be reduced to the width of

the runway

Number of Trials Each athlete is entitled to 3 trials, differences may apply at Centres and Region/State events and some athletes may have 4 trials if a top 8 is conducted.

General Rules The athletes fail if they employ any form of somersaulting. Once competition has begun, athletes are not permitted to use the competition runway for practice purposes.

Trials The athlete must place take-off foot on or before the take-off area nearer to the landing area. If any part of foot is beyond the front edge or if the entire foot is outside either end of the take-off area then it is a foul / invalid trail and recorded as a "No Jump". Markers may not be placed on runway but may be placed alongside the runway. Markers are not permitted in the landing area/pit. If during the run-up, an athlete touches the ground beyond the take-off line with any part of the body, whether running up with or without jumping; it will be deemed a trial even if it is not completed. This will be recorded as a "No Jump". If after completing the jump an athlete walks back through the landing area towards the take-off area it is a 'No Jump'. In the course of landing an athlete must not touch the ground outside the landing area nearer to the take-off point than the nearest break (imprint) in the landing area. If an athlete fails to commence an attempt within 30 seconds of their name being called by the Official in charge, a failure will be recorded. In the case of an athlete having consecutive trials, two minutes is allowed.

Measuring the Jump All jumps must be measured from the nearest break in the landing area made by any part of the body to the front edge of the imprint made by the take-off foot (U6-U10) or to the take-off line or its extension (U11 and above). The selected point is marked by the spike and the zero end of the tape is held at the spike.


2018 Victorian Little Athletic Updates- Under 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10’s must do scissor kick in High Jump

- Under 9 & 10 - Standing Triple Jump Children must start triple jump in a standing

position on one leg from the take off Mat.

In the case of an (U6-U10) athlete taking off before reaching the take-off area, the jump is measured from the nearest break in the landing area made by any part of the body to the back edge of the take-off area. The measurement must be taken perpendicular to the back of the take-off area or its extension. The tape is drawn tight and the distance is measured to the nearest centimetre below the distance jumped unless the reading is a whole centimetre.

TRIPLE JUMP

Definition The Triple Jump consists of three distinct skills performed at speed in a continuous action as

follows: - Hop: During the hop the athlete uses the same foot for take-off and landing. - Step: Athlete lands on the opposite foot (to that used for the hop). - Jump: Athlete performs a jump from the "step" foot and lands in the pit. Take-off area: (mat, sand, tape or board):

U6 – U10 Not an approved Event U11 and above 1.22m x 0.2m tape/board

NOTE : U6-U10 Triple Jump is not offered at Centre, Region or State level.

Nathalia Little Athletics Under 10’s do a standing triple jump.

Number of Trials Each athlete is entitled to 3 trials, differences may apply at Centres and Region/State events and some athletes may have 4 trials if a top 8 is conducted. Once competition has begun, athletes are not permitted to use the competition runway for practice purposes.

Trials The athlete must take-off from one foot; The athlete must place take-off foot on or before the take-off area nearer to the landing area. If any part of foot is beyond the front edge or if the entire foot is outside either end of the take-off area then it is an invalid trial and recorded as a "No Jump". Markers may not be placed on runway but may be placed alongside runway. Markers are not permitted in the landing area/pit, or beyond the take-off area. If during the run-up, an athlete touches the ground beyond the take-off line with any part of the body, whether running up with or without jumping; it will be deemed a trial even if it is not completed. This is an invalid trial and recorded as a “No Jump”. If after completing the jump an athlete walks back through the landing area towards the take-off area it is an invalid trial and recorded as a “No Jump”. In the course of landing a jumper must not touch the ground outside the landing area nearer to the take-off point than the nearest break (imprint) in the landing area. If an athlete fails to commence an attempt within 30 seconds of their name being called by the Official in charge, a failure will be recorded. In the case of an athlete having consecutive trials, two minutes is allowed.

Note 1. The trailing leg is allowed to make contact with the ground during the trial without penalty. 2. It is recommended that athletes should be grouped to trial on take-off area position while

maintaining the order within each group. 3. An athlete may change the position of their take off; they must however inform the recorder

first.

Measuring the Jump All jumps must be measured from the nearest break in the landing area made by any part of the body to the take-off line or its extension. The selected point is marked by the spike and the zero end of the tape is held at the spike. The tape is drawn tight and the distance is measured to the nearest centimetre below the distance jumped unless the reading is a whole centimetre.


Recording Best performances should be circled or highlighted The jumper who has the longest measured distance from all jumps recorded is the winner. Ties are broken by referring to the next best jump


D beats B on count back to 3rd Best Trial C beats A on count back to 2nd Best Trial X should be used to indicate an Invalid Trial – “No Jump” Results will always show "NM" when a jumper fails to record a measurable trial.

ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY – JUMPING EVENTS The Long Jump event is the most simple for Little Athletes. Multi-Class athletes may participate in Triple Jump and High Jump but it would depend on the ability of the individual athletes. Hearing Impairment

Jumping events are conducted as an able bodied event. Use hand signals to instruct the athlete to take their jump.

Intellectual Impairment Jumping events are conducted as an able bodied event. At Centre level it may be necessary to place a mat for Multi-Class athletes for provide a larger take off area, so they can concentrate on the jump rather than the take-off. It may also be necessary to place the mat closer to the pit, than the marked take off board to ensure the jump is made into the sand.

Visual

Athletes with complete blindness are guided by the voice or clap of a guide standing at the take-off board. A larger take off space is used. At a Centre level, the athlete can do the whole run up with a guide of parent. Depending on the level of vision, it would be recommended to use a mat to jump from for all age groups.

Physical Jumping events are conducted as an able bodied event.

DISCUS

Event Safety Discus circles should be enclosed with a cage, and an extending fence to protect other areas on which events may be conducted should also be considered. The Chief Official should stand outside the cage alongside the ring in a safe position on the right hand side of a right handed thrower and vice-versa. Apart from the Chief Official and the Official on the sector line and/or spiking, everyone should stand behind the athlete, and at least 1m away from the safety cage and the landing sector should be clear. Where there isn’t a cage, officials and athletes must stand at least 2m behind the thrower except the Chief Official and the Official on the sector line and/or spiking and the landing sector should be clear.

Venue Dimensions The discus is thrown from a circle into a sector of 34.92°. The inside diameter of the circle is 2.50mts. All lines used to mark the circle and sector, are 50mm wide.

Implement Weights U6 – U7 350g (recommended)

U8 500g (recommended) U9 - U11 500g

U12 – U13 750g U14 – U16 1kg


Valid Trial The trial must be commenced from a stationary position inside the circle. The athlete must not leave the circle until the discus has landed. The athlete must not touch the top of the circle or the ground outside the circle during the trial with any part of their body. They are allowed to touch the inside of the circle. Note: it will not be considered a failure if the touch happens during the rotation, back of the centre line. For a valid trail the discus must fall so that the point of impact is within the inner edge of the lines marking the sectors.


The athlete may enter the circle from any direction (preferably from the rear half of the circle) but must exit from the rear half of the circle. The athlete may during the course of each trial, stop and place the discus down inside or outside the circle and then recommence the trial again, providing that no other infringement has occurred within the time limit. Once competition has begun, athletes will not be permitted to use the circle or ground within the sector for practice trails with or without implements. If an athlete fails to commence an attempt within 30 seconds of their name being called by the Official in charge, a failure will be recorded. In the case of an athlete having consecutive trials, a maximum of two minutes is allowed.

Method of Measurement Officials select the imprint mark made by the discus on landing closest to the circle. The selected point is marked by the spike and the zero end of the tape is held at the spike. The tape is drawn tight through the centre of the circle. The distance is measured at the point where the tape crosses the inner edge of the circle. Each measurement is to the nearest cm below the distance thrown unless the reading is a whole centimetre. If the discus hits the cage and deflects back into the sector it will be a valid trial and measured providing no other infringement occurs.

Recording Best performances should be circled or highlighted. Ties are broken by referring to the next best throw.


D beats B on count back to 3rd best throw C beats A on count back to 2nd best throw X should be used to indicate an invalid trial “No Throw”. Results will always show "NM" when an athlete fails to record a measurable trial.

SHOT PUT

Event Safety The Chief Official should stand alongside the ring in a safe position on the right hand side of a right handed thrower and vice versa. Apart from the Chief Official and the official on the sector line and/or spiking, everyone should stand 2m behind the athlete and the landing sector should be clear. The shot should be CARRIED back to the circle - never thrown.


Venue Dimensions The shot is 'put' from a circle into a Sector of 34.92°. The inside diameter of the circle is 2.135m. All lines used to mark the circle and sectors are 50mm wide. A stop/kick board measuring 1.22m Long, 100mm high and 114mm wide will be used.

Valid Trial The trial must be commenced from a stationary position inside the circle. The athlete must not leave the circle until the shot has landed. The athlete must not touch the top of the circle or stop/kick board, or the ground outside the circle during the trial with any part of their body. They are allowed to touch the inside of the stop/kick board. Note: it will not be considered a failure if the touch happens during the rotation, back of the centre line The shot must land in a manner whereby the ‘impact mark’ is within the inner edges of the lines marking the sector. The athlete may enter the circle from any direction (preferably from the rear half of the circle) but must exit from the rear half of the circle. The shot must be put from the shoulder with one hand only. At the start of the trial the shot should touch or be in close proximity to the neck or chin and should not be dropped below this position during the action of putting.

The shot shall not be taken behind the line of the shoulders. The athlete may during the course of each trial, stop and place the shot down inside or outside the circle and then recommence the trial again, providing that no other infringement has occurred within the time limits. Once competition has begun, athletes will not be permitted to use the circle or ground within the sector for practice trails with or without implements. If an athlete fails to commence an attempt within 30 seconds of their name being called by the Official in charge, a failure will be recorded. In the case of an athlete having consecutive trials, two minutes is allowed.

JAVELIN

Warning: Javelins are dangerous Implements The javelin is a form of spear and as such is a lethal weapon; it can be deflected by gusts of wind.

Event Safety The Chief Official should stand alongside the runway in a safe position on the right hand side of a right handed thrower and vice-versa. Apart from the Official on the Sector Line, everyone should stand behind the athlete and the landing Sector should be clear. The javelin should be CARRIED back to the runway in a vertical position, tip down- never thrown.


Venue Dimensions The length of the runway may include the length of the track (8 lanes) and the width is 4mts with the lines 50mm wide. The "arc" line should be 70mm in width. Markers can only be used at the side of runway. The Landing Sector lines are 50mm wide, such that the inner edge of the lines, if extended, would pass roughly through the two Intersections of the inner edges of the arc, and the parallel lines marking the runway and intersect at the centre of the circle of which the arc is a part, 8mts from the arc line. The Sector is thus 28.95 °.

Implement Weights

Number of Trials Each athlete is entitled to 3 trials, differences may apply at Centres and Region/State events and some athletes may have 4 trials if a top 8 is conducted. Allow athletes a practice throw(s) to check their run-up if possible

Valid Trial The javelin must be held at the grip. It should be thrown over the shoulder or upper part of the throwing arm, and must never be slung or hurled. Non-orthodox styles are not permitted. At no time during the throw, until the javelin has been launched into the air, may the athlete turn completely around, so that their back is toward the throwing arc. A trial will be valid only if the metal head strikes the ground before any other part of the javelin. The javelin does not have to stick in, but marking is easier if it does. When a javelin descends at a low angle to the ground it may bounce shortly before producing what looks like a fair landing. This must be carefully watched to see that the metal head impacts first. The athlete must not leave the runway until the javelin has impacted the ground. When leaving the runway the athlete must not leave forward of the throwing arc. The athlete may during the course of each trial, stop and place the javelin down inside or outside the runway, leave the runway, then return to begin a fresh trial, providing that no other infringement has occurred within the time allowed. If an athlete fails to commence an attempt within 30 seconds of their name being called by the Official in charge, a failure will be recorded. In the case of an athlete having consecutive trials, a maximum of two minutes is allowed.


Method of Measurement The measurement of each throw will be made from where the metal head first strikes the ground to the inside edge of the arc along a line from the point of landing to the centre of the circle of which the arc is part. The selected point is marked by the spike and the zero end of the tape is held at the spike. The tape is drawn tight through the centre of the circle of which the arc is a part (8mts from the arc). The distance is measured at the point where the tape crosses the inner edge of the arc. Each measurement is to the nearest cm below the distance thrown unless the reading is a whole centimetre.

ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY – THROWING EVENTS Hearing Impairment Throwing events are conducted as an able bodied event.

Use hand signals to instruct and guide the athlete to take their position in the circle. Intellectual Impairment Throwing events are conducted as an able bodied event.

Lighter implements may be used if athletes don’t have the strength to use the weight of their own age group. The athlete and Centre may judge this case by case.

Visual Impairment Athletes will be walked into the throwing circle by a guide and then allowed to throw by themselves.

Once in position the athletes can make the throw, ensuring all athletes and officials are clear of the throwing area as per usual safety standards.

Physical Impairment Athletes with physical impairments aren’t required to use a specific throwing chair. They may roll into the circle in their day chair and lock the brakes.

Athletes with limb deficiencies may need assistance of a guide or parent to get set in position and handle the implements. Once in position the athletes can make the throw, ensuring all athletes and officials are clear of the throwing area as per usual safety standards. Lighter implements may be used if athletes don’t have the strength to use the weight of their own age group. The athlete and Centre may judge this case by case.
