Thank you so much for coming to our indoor athletics tryouts! We are incredibly proud of every one of you for your enthusiasm, energy, and effort.

Your participation and determination were truly inspiring, and we were thrilled to see you all showcase your skills and sportsmanship. Whether you were sprinting, jumping, or throwing, you made the tryouts a fantastic experience.

Remember, every great athlete starts with practice and perseverance. Keep up the hard work, stay active, and most importantly, have fun with your activities. We look forward to seeing you at future events and hope you continue to enjoy the journey of athletics.

The try-outs were based on 5 stations:

• The Hi-Stepper test is an explosive event that develops agility, coordination, speed, and acceleration.

• Speed bounce: A test of speed, rhythm and coordination, the participant crosses the foam wedge with both feet as many times as possible in the allocated time limit.

• Javelin: A standing throw using a Foam or bull-nosed javelin.. This is a linear throw where distance is recorded in complete metres by reading across to the Graduated Measuring Mat.

• Chest push: A standing throw where the participant pushes a weighted ball from the chest into a pre-measured throwing area.

• Standing long jump: This two-footed jump from a standing position is a test of coordination and leg strength. In sports hall events, a special graduated landing mat is used, which enables jumps to be recorded easily.
