Throwing Progression



Throwing Progression is our warm up before every practice and game. We will not simply "throw" to warm up, but we will do so with a purpose and intent. The individual drills are intended to mimic vitals aspects of the throwing motion. Each drill is done for 10 throws or approximately 1-2 minutes.

1) Wrist Flicks (10-15 feet apart)
2) Chest to Knee (30-40 ft. apart)
3) Torso Twist (50-60 ft. apart)
4) Power Position (70-90 ft. apart)
5) Full Range of Motion or Regular/Normal (100-110 ft.)*
6) Positional Throws or Below the Waist/Above the Waist (120-130 ft.)
7) Long Toss (140-150 ft.)
