Common mistakes
All throwing events have the same technique.
While there is a common core technique across all throwing events, each event has a unique set of technical elements that range from the grip, stance, release and recovery phases.
For parents, carers and teachers
- As pupils refine their techniques, they should start to practise and focus on each element individually. You may decide to spend a lesson on each learning cycle and will need to carefully consider/ risk assess the throwing tasks.
