Structured throwing with a partner, building distance gradually. The base of every throwing programme.
Set up

You need: Glove, ball
Steps
- Ten throws from one knee, focus on the arm path
- Ten from standing, feet set
- Step back 5 m every ten throws until you reach the week distance
- Finish with ten at the starting distance, on a line
Coaching points
- Four-seam grip every throw
- Step at your target with your front foot
