and achieved their personal best (PB) time for their event.• Field events focus on throwing or jumping the furthest distance – and athletes

try and achieved their personal best (PB) distance for their event. • Warming up is extremely important in athletics • Safety is also extremely important in particular for throwing events to ensure

all participants are kept safe

Technique/Skill = Sprinting • Aim of sprinting/field events = completing the race in the quickest time. • Understanding the sprinting technique = drive knees high, run on the balls of your

feet, arms at right angles driving backwards and forwards, head neutral, body relaxed.

• Sprint start technique = on your mark, get set, go!• Understanding of the phases of a sprint race = start, drive phase, main running

phase, finish.Technique/Skill = Javelin

weight backwards, bend back knee.• Throwing phase = body weight moves from back foot to front foot, hips and

shoulders rotate, arm goes from low to high, elbow bends and fully extends, release javelin at 45 degree angle, follow though and step forward.

Technique/Skill = long jump• Aim of the long jump = to jump the furthest distance.• Understanding the 4 phases of the long jump – run up, take off, flight and landing.• Run up = fast, powerful, using sprinting technique (drive arms and legs)• Take off = one footed take off, take off on/behind the board, bend knees for power • Flight = rotate arms forwards, hips forwards, legs in a pike shape • Landing = two footed, throw body forward – remember the closest mark made in

the sand, to the take-off board is where the measurement is taken from.Technique/Skill = Discus

shoulder width apart, sideways body position, knees bent, leaning body weight backwards,

• Throwing phase = body weight moves from back foot to front foot, hips and shoulders rotate, arm goes from low to high, release discus at 45 degree angle
