Enjoy 5 days of “World-Class” Instruction from Olympic champions and former World Record Holders.
Our coaching staff has a proven record of helping young throwers improve and excel. The majority of our staff have been working together for many years, including 6 coaches who have been participating since the inception of the camp and over 40 coaches who have at least 10 years of camp experience! Needless to say, a well coordinated learning environment and consistent teaching progression are the hallmark of our technical sessions. Most importantly, all participants have the exciting opportunity to work directly with world reknown experts in each individual throwing event – unlike our competition at other “track and field” camps. As usual, several outstanding collegiate, high school and club coaches will join these elite clinicians in providing elite instruction at our camp. A complete list of our 2009 camp staff will be posted here no later than one month prior to the start date of camp.

Testimonials
" Iron Wood Thrower’s Camp has changed my life. I first went to Iron Wood as a 9th grader who was a softball player at heart. My experience at Iron Wood with both the staff and the other athletes was unlike any other sport. Because of the passion and desire I saw in those around me, Iron Wood helped me not only enjoy throwing more, but helped me fall in love with the sport of track and field. The friends and coaches I have met at the camp have continued from the time I was a young camper, through high school, college and even now as I return as a counselor and coach. Iron Wood is not only the best camp available for throwers, it is the best camp overall that I have been to because of the love and hard work of those who put it on. Thank you Iron Wood!! " Jill Camarena, Best female U.S. shot putter for 2006, member of Stanford University’s throws team
