Here is a start with a checklist that I have adapted from the “Steps to Success” series. The throw used will depend again on the place that the thrower is throwing from, the distance of the throw and the importance of the throw or time that the ball must get to its destination.
There is also the underhand toss, the sidearm throw, and the throw that uses the crow hop for distance, the catchers throw on a steal attempt, and the quick toss of second base player to second on on a double play ball. This is also only one of a few possible throws that are made during a game. Ideally they will have mastered the mechanics so that the automatic is correct.
If they have learned these mechanics and their body has memorized the basic concepts, they will not need to think about mechanics before throwing. They need to get the ball to its destination as quickly and accurately as possible. Take throwing as an example: Children naturally begin to throw objects at around 18 months old, and this typically takes the form of an underhand toss. This checklist is a general format to use in teaching throwing and solidifying basic throwing mechanics.ĭuring a game, the players will not stop and go through all the checklist points before they throw. For example, if the second base player fields the ball close to first base, she will likely use an underhand toss to get the ball to first base. The form used will depend entirely on the situation, how far from the target the thrower is and how the ball is fielded. The truth is that no every situation allows players to use this checklist or these specific mechanics for throwing. Most fundamental movement skills research has focused on children’s competency in locomotor and object control skills.
Underhand throw movements series#
How many times have you seen someone throw into the stands at the College World Series Championships? Mechanics are critical, and will automatically take over when the thrower is stressed. Introduction In motor development literature fundamental movement skills are divided into three constructs: locomotive, object control and stability skills. Throwing under pressure and in a rush has the potential to cause errors even with well trained athletes. Teaching Overhand Throwing for Beginners Some Things That Effect Throwing Overhand throwing for beginners can be stressful and learning the basic mechanics is critical at the early stages of any players career. Overthrows and inaccurate throws are where the most runs are scored, especially at the inexperienced levels. Throwing errors are one of the most common errors in softball.
