THROW AND GO




This drill teaches young players to follow their throws in the right direction.

Have two single file lines of players (one behind the other) facing at a comfortable throwing distance.

A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 >>    << B1 B2 B3 B4 B5

The player at the head of line one throws to the player at the head of line two. After the throw, player continues a forward motion (as one should) in the direction of the throw by running to the back of the opposite line.

The drill is especially effective for Tee Ballers as it encourages players to follow their throws instead of allowing them to 'cheat backward' as they tend to do when going to the back of the same line.
