WALKING<br />

Athletes may receive a caution from the judge when in danger of losing contact or not<br />

straightening the support knee. Each judge may report an athlete for breaking any of the walk<br />

rules. Three separate reports will lead to disqualification.<br />

WEARING OF SPIKES<br />

Needle type spikes (7mm at Santos Stadium or 9mm on grass tracks) are permitted for under<br />

12-17 athletes for laned track events, long jump, triple jump, high jump & javelin. Spiked<br />

shoes may only be put on immediately prior to the event & must be removed immediately<br />

after the event.<br />

JAVELIN<br />

The Javelin must be thrown over the shoulder or upper part of the throwing arm. The tip must<br />

strike the ground before any other part of the Javelin. Measurement is made from the point<br />

w<strong>here</strong> the tip first touches the ground to the edge of the run up area. Javelin is no longer an<br />

association event for Under 11’s but it will still be offered to <strong>Noarlunga</strong> Under 11’s for home<br />

meets.<br />

• Under 11-12 B&G, 13-14G 400g. Under 15-17G 500g. Under 13B 600g. Under 14-17B 700g<br />

TURBO JAV<br />

Turbo Jav follows the same rules as Javelin but is a modified event for Under 9-10. The turbo<br />

Jav is made of plastic and is designed to encourage the correct technique for throwing a<br />

Javelin.<br />

VORTEX<br />

The Vortex is for Under 6-8 and follows the same rules as Javelin and, like Turbo Jav, is<br />

designed to provide young athletes the opportunity to learn the correct Javelin throwing<br />

technique but using modified equipment.
