Item Description

Mr. Wil Anderson, Stone Bridge School's awesome Movement Teacher, will teach 4-6 adults the proper technique to throw a discus in a one hour class.

This truly unique experience is with the person who trains our 5th Graders to compete in the Greek Games every year!

Here's you chance to experience this ancient sport!

Discus throwing dates back to the ancient Greek Olympic Games, as depicted in the Fifth Century B.C. statue from the British Museum, "Discobolus," by the sculptor Myron. The 8th century B.C. poet Homer also referred to discus throwing, which was a part of the Greeks' pentathlon event. The early discs were made of unwrought bronze and iron and were apparently heavier than today's competitive discus.

Fun Fact:

The world record for women is 251 feet by Gabriele Reinsch, which is 8 feet longer than the world record holder for men (Jurgen Schult - 243 feet).  

Date to be mutually agreed upon by winners and Mr. Anderson.

Expiration:  July 2018
