Hammerman USA is dedicated to teaching and promoting hammer throwing!
Our mission is to teach and train young hammer throwers age 13 through 19 to help them obtain college scholarships.
During the summer, we hold training sessions at Hammerman Field in Aurora IL. Hammerman Field is one of the finest throwing facilities in the Midwest. In addition to hammer throwing training, we host four throws only competitions so young hammer throwers can experience the thrill of competition. PLEASE NOTE: This year’s meets will include HAMMER THROW AND JAVELIN EVENTS ONLY. We will NOT be holding shot put or discus competitions in 2025.

Why Hammer Throwing?
Hammer Throwing Offers a Safe Alternative to Football
Young, strong boys and girls develop speed, strength and power. Hammer throwing presents no risk of damaging blows to the head.
Hammer Throwing is Exhilarating and Fun
Hammer throwing is a unique and fascinating sport. It takes time and patience to learn how to throw the hammer. But, once you do, the fun and exhilaration of completing a “good throw” is a special feeling only throwers understand.
COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP ARE AVAILABLE
Most colleges offer partial or full scholarships for hammer throwers. But, very few high schools offer hammer throwing. That means there is far less competition for the available scholarships. Kids who excel in the hammer throw will usually have many schools trying to recruit them.
SIZE DOESN’T MATTER AS MUCH
Unlike the shot put and discus, hammer throwers come in many heights and weights. This event stresses balance and technique as much as it does power.
