Tactical Focus:
Aim and Accuracy
|
 |
Establish boundaries for each group to play within, ensuring the groups are throwing away from each other. |
|
Using a pool noodle for the javelin throw, players may take a run but must release the “javelin” before reaching a throwing line. Note: the distance of the throw is measured from the throwing line to the place the “javelin” lands. |
|
Using a rubber chicken or a stuffed animal for the hammer and discus throw, players must make one complete rotation and then release the "hammer” or “discus” while staying behind a throwing line. Note: the distance of the throw is measured from the throwing line to the place the “hammer” or “discus” lands. |
|
 |
 |
|
Decrease the width of the boundaries to keep the objects within. |
|
Have "cumulative" throws with partners where one partner throws the object and his partner throws his object from the location that the object landed. The score is the combined distance. |
|
Play against other players or play against self by trying to beat previous score. |
|
Cut a target out from large sections of cardboard. Players throw the javelin at the picture to see if they can hit different parts of the target. |
|
|
 |
|
What happens when you use more force? Are you more or less accurate? |
|
Accuracy is decreased with more force. Therefore, it is critical that efficient technique is used. |
|
|
 |
|
Use well-defined boundaries. Mark the lines with bright colours. |
|
Establish the line for players to stand behind and then encourage them to throw over another line, which is 5 feet away. |
|
Modify equipment to suit the individual. For example, if an individual can not manipulate a pool noodle effectively, substitute for a rope for example. |
