For parents, carers and teachers
- This lesson could sit before or after throwing technique lessons (eg. javelin). Delivering beforehand provides a good introduction to throwing and an opportunity to pre-assess for technique. Delivering afterwards makes it a good consolidation exercise for the technical points of throwing learned.
