Now For Girls and Boys Ages 7 – 10

Here’s our training video for the FirstFlier™️ – see how it’s done!                           Note:  This video has no audio.

This exciting new youth javelin offers the ideal introduction to the challenge of learning javelin flight skills.

The huge success in teaching flight skills of the Finnflier® 450 gram javelin, also called the “Aerojav”, has inspired the creation of this smaller version for younger kids. So the the FirstFlier™️ can be thought of as a kind of “Mini-Aerojav”.

Years of prototyping and development have produced a lightweight, safe and sturdy javelin that fits the needs and body dimensions of the seven to ten year old age groups.

A critical factor in learning to throw the javelin is being able to see the
tip by the eye just before throwing. The FirstFlier™️ javelin has been scaled to fit 95th percentile 10 year olds, making it a practical learning implement.

The FirstFlier™️ makes a smooth progression of learning possible as the young athletes move up to the next size of javelin, the 450 gram Finnflier® (“Aerojav”). Because the flight patterns are the same, the learning in the earlier ages transfers to later throwing.
