About athletics
Shot put is a field event in which athletes propel a weighted ball, known as a shot, as far as possible
The shot is pushed from the shoulder rather than thrown using a conventional overarm action
Effective shot putting combines grip, balance, strength and controlled movement
Athletes must release the shot from within a marked throwing circle and aim to land it inside the designated sector
Recommended weights
4kg: recommended for Junior Women and boys under 15 years
5kg: recommended for boys under 17 years
7.26kg: recommended for Senior Men
Suggested uses

Safety information
Ensure the landing sector is clear before every attempt
Participants waiting to throw should remain behind the designated throwing area
The shot must be pushed from the shoulder and not thrown overarm
Retrieve the shot only when instructed and after all throwing has stopped
Carry the shot carefully and never roll it through an active throwing area
Inspect the shot for damage before every session
Shot put activities should take place under appropriate supervision
