Jumping events are always on at Athletics South interclub and alternate depending on what program is currently running.
Jumping events include long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole
vault, with certain events best suiting different athletes.
Many
competitors are involved in these events and all have a range of
different ages and athletic abilities so it's most likely you will get a
chance to compete against people of the same ability.
All four of these
events involve different techniques in order to abide by the
regulations.
OVA Southern Saints has had a lot of success in the jumps with people such as Pat Coleman who jumped over 7 meters in long jump and over 15 meters in triple jump, Ryan Haag who was jumping mid 14 meters in triple jump and Mitchell Walker and Ben Rickards who have both cleared 2 meters in high jump.
"I've been training with OVA coaches Dom and Rosemary for a few years now and have continued to improve - but really enjoy my long jumping.”
If you're interested in participating in the jumping disciplines of athletics, then we invite you to contact the OVA Southern Saints.
