Vinex: common questions

What weight shot put should each age group use? Typical school and athletics grades: 2kg to 3kg for under-13, 3kg to 4kg for under-15 and most female grades, and 5kg to 6kg for older male grades. Always check your governing body's current specification for competition.

Are indoor shot puts different? Yes. Indoor shots are rubber-coated or filled so they do not damage a hall floor on landing, which makes them the safe option for winter training and school gyms.

What length tug of war rope does a school need? A 10m rope suits primary classes and small teams, 22m covers most secondary school and sports day use, and 30m is the competition length for full 8-a-side teams.
