FAQ

Is the runway made of synthetic material or grass?

The stadium features a professional synthetic runway. This ensures consistent traction regardless of weather conditions, which is crucial for preventing slips during the final "crossover" and "release" phases.

Do I need to bring my own Javelin for practice?

Yes, athletes are generally expected to bring their own equipment (competition or training javelins). However, if you are enrolled in the Certified Coaching Program, the academy may provide training spears based on your age and weight category.

What kind of spikes are allowed on the Javelin runway?

Since it is a synthetic track, you must use standard athletics spikes (usually 6mm to 9mm). Longer field spikes or blunt metal studs are strictly prohibited as they can permanently damage the synthetic surface.

Can I practice Javelin while the main football field is in use?

For safety reasons, Javelin practice is strictly scheduled during specific hours when the landing sector (which overlaps with the outer field) is clear of other athletes. Please check the Real-Time Booking Calendar for "Field Event" availability.
