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.
