2013 Youth Hammer Throw Grants
The Youth Hammer Throw Grants Are Here Again
The USATF Foundation Youth Hammer Throw Fund was started by Harold Connolly in 2005 to help promising youth athletes nationwide obtain the resources needed to become world class throwers. The funds raised by Harold helped pay for new equipment, travel to competitions, and attend clinics. Since 2005 the USATF Foundation Youth Hammer Throw Fund has awarded already more than $32,000 in training grants to 65 youth boys and girls across America thanks to generous donations from hammer throw supporters. We are proud to announce that the program is back again for 2013 and now accepting applications.
Awards are determined by a selection committee’s review of the applicants’ online application form which requires training and competitive statistical information, a brief essay describing his/her hammer throwing goals, and a letter of support from the applicant’s coach or parent. Applications can be submitted anytime before November 30th. Grant recipients will be announced at the start of 2014.

As the last American to win Olympic gold in the hammer throw, Harold Connolly dedicated his life to the event. It was his goal to see America once again among the world's best in the event.
MessageI am a former hammer thrower from the University of Illinois. I am thinking of starting a hammer throwing club here in Illinois and I am looking for a full time coach. Do you have any resources that could help me find one?
