AFI Introduces Plastic Javelins To Help Improve Technique Among Kids, Discourages Specialisation At Sub-junior, Youth Levels
As per its new training system for very young athletes, under the age of 14, the AFI has introduced a new plastic javelin that helps refine the players' throwing technique while also developing their shoulder muscles, AFI president Adille Sumariwalla told IANS on Saturday.
The AFI has also discontinued competitions for sub-junior and youth levels as it wants youngsters at that level to enjoy sports and not get into specialisation in the race for medals.
