Rope Throw

The aim of the event is to throw your rope to some one as fast as you can, who is in the pool 12 metres away.

The thrower coils the line as fast as he/she can and throw to the catcher.  He/she catches the rope if in reach of it.  An almost purely skills based event, the rope throw otherwise known as the line throw is always a thrilling event to watch as everyone hopes toe rope hits it’s target first time. 

This can be done on your own or as a team of 4, and either in a speeds or conventional manner.  During a speeds the catcher kicks head down as they are pulled into the side.

The RLSS speed rules are.
