A training device for use with a regulation discus includes a glove body sized and shaped for receiving at least a portion of a hand of a discus thrower therein and an attachment for securing the regulation discus to the glove body at a front of the glove body such that the discus thrower can grasp the regulation discus and practice throwing the discus without releasing the regulation discus from the glove body. The glove body has a wrist opening, at least one thumb opening, and at least one finger opening. Thus, even if the discus thrower inadvertently lets go of the regulation discus, the regulation discus is not thrown because it is secured to the glove body worn by the discus thrower. The attachment can be straps that are secured about the regulation discus.
