Coaching for Local Throwers
If you live in the Rhode Island area and would like to join us for a Sunday discus or shot put practice,
please use the inquire button below to reach out.
Or you can call or text 401-378-8585
We throw together every Sunday in Johnston, RI. Practice begins at 9:00AM and goes until 3:30PM.
***PLEASE NOTE***
Sunday sessions are not meant to be a quick fix "I'll show up once or twice at the beginning of the season" thing.
Most Sunday throwers show up during the summer and fall off-season and train with us 40+ weeks a year.
I expect a commitment from throwers that show up on Sundays.
If you are looking for a quick fix or expect to show up once every few months, we are not for you!
There are five sessions throughout the day. Session times and event times change with the seasons.
This is our current schedule.
​
9:00-10:30 shot (glide and rotation)
10:30-11:30 discus
11:30-1:00 shot (glide and rotation)
1:00-2:00 discus
2:00-3:30 shot (glide and rotation)
Athletes wishing to focus on all shot can show up for the shot sessions only.
Athletes wishing to focus on all discus can show up for discus only.
During spring season and warmer months there are more discus times available.
During indoor track season/winter track the emphasis is on shot put.
We throw (almost) every Sunday all year round and have for the past 15 years!
We do take major holidays off as well as any Sundays where a meet might be occurring or if family obligations pop up.
We average 49 Sundays of coaching every year!
​
The cost for the entire day of throwing is only $35.
Discounted monthly throwing memberships are available for dedicated athletes who can commit to 3 or more Sundays per month.
During the colder winter months, all throwing practices will take place inside Johnston High School.
