How to aid a student through the movement pattern of an overhand throw
Right and Left Hand throw demo
I use the following simplified prompts with your student:
1. Ready (ready position) simplified :face target, hold ball in both hands, just under your chin.
2. "T" ( simplified: I have them continue to face their target at this point, and hold their arms straight out making a "T" )
3. Ear :bring ball to ear. (This will tell them which way to twist, the hand that holds the ball, is the same foot that steps back to twist)
4. Twist AND ( The hand not holding the ball will point at the target)
5. "Throw"
