Build the full throw

A faster throw needs every part to work together.

Pop time is more than one move. The transfer, first move, feet, direction, timing, arm action, strength, accuracy, and effort must work together. This plan builds each part, then joins them.

Integrated throwing development.

Results depend on the player’s starting point, effort, growth, and how often they train.

Four-week plan

Build one part at a time.

Complete each phase in sequence. Every week retains prior training standards and adds the next layer of the complete throw.

    • Starting skill check

  2. Week 2

    Learn quick footwork and adjust to where the pitch is caught.

    • Different pitch locations

    Hands and Feet Together
