How to do the drill
- 1
Hold a hand towel like a ball, with a little hanging out.
- 2
Set a chest-high target, like a chair back, one step past where your front foot lands. Stand sideways to it.
- 3
Take the towel down, back and up so your hand is on top.
- 4
Step at the target, turn your hips and chest, and snap the towel at it out in front.
- 5
Finish with your throwing shoulder pointing at the target. Do 3 sets of 10.
Coaching cues
- Hand on top.
- Elbow at shoulder height.
- Snap it out front.
What good looks like
A loud snap out in front that comes from the hips and chest turning, elbow at shoulder height.
Safety
Clear lamps, TVs and siblings out of the way first.
Why this drill
Teaches the whole-body throw with no ball, so it is safe to do almost every day.
