Setup
- Players stand about 15–20 feet from the helper.
- No glove needed for the first few reps.
- Start without a ball if needed, then add it once the motion looks cleaner.
How it works
- The player goes through the throwing motion slowly.
- Right before release, she freezes in place.
- The helper checks the throwing arm position.
- Elbow should be about shoulder height — or a little higher.
- Do 5 slow-motion reps, then 5 at full speed.
Watch for
- Elbow is up, not hanging low.
- Throwing hand is behind or above the ball, not under it.
- She stays balanced instead of leaning back.
What to say
Freeze right there.
Elbow up — that’s your power spot.
Show me your strong throwing position.
Yes — now throw from there!
