When practicing the throws, the ball can be thrown through a hoop, at a wall or to an adult. It is important the eyes look where the ball needs to be thrown. The arm movements determine the force and direction of the throw. This throw is best used to gain height or distance. The overhand or overhead throw generates more speed than the underhand throw, which makes catching more challenging. The ball must be held above or behind the head with bent arms, the arms move in an upward, forward direction when throwing. Overhand throw: Practice the arm moments several times before actually throwing the ball. For beginner level this is a safer and slower throw. The hands are situated under and slightly behind the ball. Encourage the children to look where they are throwing and to do a slow controlled throw in an upward, forward direction. The ball is held in front of the body with relaxed arms. Underhand throw: Practice the arm moments several times before actually throwing the ball.

The teacher will need to go around and help to make sure they are giving proper feedback. So you can tell them that today in class we are working on the underhand through and we are focusing on the follow through "fingers pointed to the target after ball leaves hand, waist height" so students can say that to their classmate. To make it even more meaningful have the catcher be the one who gives the feedback to their classmates. Throughout the activity make sure the teacher gives specific feedback about the the throwing cue you are working on like "Nice step with the opposite foot, Sally", "Way to follow through to the target, Robert". Once the catcher makes it to the other side of the floor, they will switch with the thrower. If unsuccessful, the thrower will try again. If successful, the catcher will scoot their poly spot back 2 steps. The thrower will perform the underhanded throw to try and get their ball into the hula hoop. The catcher will have the hula hoop around the waist. One student will be the thrower and the other will be the catcher. Spread the students out 15 feet from each other, and have them face each other.
