Event 1: Basketball Throw
The candidate takes a throwing position, on both knees, on the mat close
to and directly behind the Throwing Line. The candidate's knees must remain
parallel to the Throwing Line (Figure 1). Three legal overhand throws are
allowed from this kneeling position to attain as great a distance as possible.
A candidate may use the non-throwing hand to steady the ball in preparation for the throw (Figure 2). The candidate cannot touch the floor or mat with either hand during or after any throw.
The examiner must measure all throws to the center of the impact position of the ball. Three fair trials are allowed. A ball landing to one side will be measured by an imaginary straight line perpendicular to the center line of the court and extended to the point of impact. Any ball that hits the ceiling or a side wall will not be scored and will be re-thrown.
The candidate"s score will be the longest throw recorded of the three proper attempts, rounded down to the nearest foot. It should be recorded in black ball-point pen in the boxes provided. Be certain each scoring box has a blackened entry.
Note to the examiner: In conducting this event, please concern yourself primarily with the correct execution of each of the candidate"s throws for record. One of your assistants can mark the point of impact of each throw and your other assistant can help you measure the throw.
