RELAYS

Relays are races between teams of four competitors, each running only one distance (leg). An individual leg of the race is finished when the incoming competitor passes the baton to the succeeding or outgoing competitor.

Entries - no more than six individuals may be listed on the entry sheet, but only those who actually run will be considered official participants. Substitutions may come from only those names on the entry sheet.

The order of running may be changed between heats and succeeding rounds or the finals.

In relays which are run the entire distance in lanes, teammates of each starting competitor shall occupy the same lane or corresponding position at each exchange mark, and the baton may be exchanged only in such lane or position.

The baton must be passed while the baton is within a 20 meter (22 yard) exchange zone. A baton that inadvertently leaves a runner’s hand must be retrieved immediately without interference to other runners.

NFHS RULES

The baton shall be handed, not thrown from the competitor to the succeeding teammate. This teammate shall not take sole possession of the baton while the baton is outside the exchange zone. If the baton is dropped in the exchange zone, in a legitimate attempt to hand it, either competitor may retrieve it, even from another lane, provided the competitor does not interfere with an opponent and the baton is retrieved within the limits of the original exchange zone extended across the track. If the baton is dropped outside the exchange zone, it must be retrieved by the competitor who dropped it.

After passing the baton, the relieved competitor should stand still or jog straight ahead and step off the track when clear.

Acceleration zones - races where individual legs run 200 meters or less 400 x 1 (sprint relay) and 4 x 2 (800 meter relay) 10 meters (11 yards) outside exchange zone Outgoing runner may stand on the acceleration mark and commence running from this position. The baton MUST be passed however in the exchange zone.

In relay races where acceleration zones are not permitted, each outgoing runner while waiting for the baton, shall take a position entirely within the passing zone and must complete the exchange while the baton is within the 20 – meter (22 yard) exchange zone.

NFHS RULES

ACTIVITY #9DIRECTIONS:

Answer the following questions. You may discuss with others1. Which relay uses the blind exchange? 400 M (4 X 1)2. Runners do not have to stay in their assigned lane while running this relay. (last two runners) 1600 M RELAY / 4 X 43. Another name for the 4 x 2 relay is…. 800 METER RELAY4. The sprint relay is also called the …….400 METER RELAY OR 4 X 1 RELAY5. The maximum number of entrants for a relay is six. TRUE OR FALSE6. Once a coach has determined the running order for a relay and turned in the entry sheet,

he / she may make changes between heats, provided the runner’s name is listed on the sheet. TRUE OR FALSE

7. What is the space between triangles 1 and 2 called? EXCHANGE ZONE8. What is the identification term for triangle 3? ACCELERATON MARK9. This relay uses a ‘double stagger’ to begin the race. 800 METER RELAY OR 4 X 210. The term for the runner receiving the baton. OUTGOING RUNNER11. Can a team drop the baton and still finish the race without penalty? TRUE OR FALSE MAY NOT THROW THE BATON

• There is a strong relation between a jumper’s execution of the approach run and take off and the performance of a jump.

• The more consistent and technically correct the approach run and take-off, the better the jump performance will be.

TWO DETERMINING FACTORS OF THE LONG JUMP SUCCESS:1. APPROACH RUN2. TAKE - OFF

LONG JUMP

4 PHASES OF THE LONG JUMP

1.APPROACH2.LAST TWO STRIDES3.TAKE OFF4.ACTION IN THE AIR & LANDING

THE FOUR PHASES OF THE LONG JUMP

1. Approach• Objective is to develop a consistent approach run that will allow for gradual

acceleration. It begins with the first stride and ending with maximum controlled speed at take-off

• Length should be between 12-19 strides. It is harder for inexperienced jumpers to attain a long approach run. Thus, beginners should begin with the shorter approach and once the jumper gains experience they can move to more strides in the approach.

• A successful approach run depends on the consistency of the first 2-3 strides. It is here that the rhythm of the run is developed.

• If a jumpers take-off foot is the same foot used to push off with at the start, there will be an even number of strides. However, if a jumper’s take-off foot is not the same there will be an odd number of strides.

Dominate Foot?

2. Last two strides• The objective of the last two strides is to prepare or set up for the take-off while

conserving as much speed as possible.• Prior to these last strides, the jumper is in a full sprinting position and continues

acceleration by pushing down against the ground.• There are two strides to the second component: - Penultimate Stride: this is the next to last stride from the take-off. When this

occurs, there is a lowering of the jumpers center of gravity and the flexion of the knee and ankle of the supporting leg. It is imperative that they prepare the body during the penultimate stride.

- Last Stride: This is shorter than the penultimate stride because of the raising of the jumper’s center of gravity. When a concentric contraction is preceded by a phase of active stretching in the muscles of the take-off leg, elastic energy is stored and the take-off leg is “loaded up”

• It is critical that jumpers stay relaxed and maintain approach speed through the last two strides. This can be accomplished by continuing to stroke their arms through the last two strides. This helps because stopping the movement of the arms will decrease approach speed into the take-off.

VERBAL CUE: “DAY - TODAY”

4. Action in the air and landing• The objective for the last component is to rotate the body into

an efficient landing position that maximizes jump distance.• The jumper moves the arms and legs about the center of gravity

to counteract forward rotation and assume an optimal position for landing. A technique that can help with this is the hitch-kick technique. By cycling the arms and leg through the air the jumper is able to maintain an upright body position and set p for a good landing. Another technique is called the hang and the sail. This has the same effect as the hitch-kick.

• If a jumper does not counteract the forward rotation this will cause the jumper to continue rotating forward and land facedown in the sand.

PHASES OF THE TRIPLE JUMP

1. APPROACH

2. Hop

3. Step

4. Jump (TAKE OFF)

5. ACTION IN AIR & LANDING

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdnLY0a6yn0

1. HOP Push off and land on same foot

2. Step Push off and step, land on opposite foot

3. Jump Take off board

4. Arm Action Single, Double, Combinationhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jv54lCSVMI

HOPTake off should be forward and up (not up and forward)Jumper should “run off the board” Land on entire foot, not the toes or heel (heel injuries)Hitch Kick

ARM ACTIONSingle – running motion - take off board Double – pulling back both arms prior to JUMP into pit
