DRILL DESCRIPTION:
Using a volleyball, stand with left shoulder facing target and chest perpendicular to target. Flex the right knee and lower your hips and shouders, bringing the ball back towards to ground. Then reach out with left foot in the direction you wish to throw and unwind. Your hips and shoulders should rotate before you release the ball in the direction you wish to throw. This is a good way to introduce someone to the discus throw because it teaches them the rotational movement without using a discus, which can be difficult to grasp with the hand.
