STEP 1 : Lead-Ups
The following lead up activities all involve throwing. They culminate with modified ball-throwing activities that are based on javelin throwing technique
Accuracy Competition:
Basketballs are placed on a box top and must be knocked off by athletes throwing tennis balls or softballs. Throwing distances are appropriate for the age of the athletes. All athletes throw the same direction
Two- Handed Basketball Throw From A Kneeling Position:
This activity is similar to the preceding drill except that the athlete is in a kneeling position. This drill simulates the pull of the javelin over the athletes head. As in the preceding drill, start by using a volley ball or a basketball.
Lift, Turn & Throw:
A lift, turn and trow simulates the hip rotation that the athlete will use in the javelin throw. This drill had to be performed slowly until the required actions are well learned. Afterwards, it can be made more vigorous and explosive
