Throwing drills for youth baseball players can be adapted to fit the needs of young players. First of all, players need to learn to throw the ball with their arm motion. During throwing drills, they should try to move from their stance to the throwing motion quickly and accurately. They should also observe how their feet and body align at the target, as well as whether their elbows are up and their eyes are fixed on the target.
A good drill to perform is an overhand throw. It simulates the motion of to the plate and fielding. It should be performed with proper technique and power. For a more realistic simulation, players can use a soccer ball or basketball. A batting tee can also be used.
A hit-the-target drill is another effective drill for developing throwing accuracy. To perform this drill, you'll need to use your child's fielding glove and a ball. You'll also need a target - a wall or fence, preferably a wall - to hit. Tennis balls or other balls will work just fine.
A catch and throw drill is a great warm-up activity for young players. It helps players find their own pace and rhythm when throwing. If practiced on a regular basis, a catch-and-throw drill will produce thirty-three quality throws per game. A catch-and-throw drill requires two to three minutes a day and can help players improve their game speed and accuracy.
