Underarm throw for accuracy.

Description Of Activity

• long arm swing
• stepping towards target
• following through

You could ask

If you increase the distance from the target, what happens to your arm swing? To hit the target consistently, what do you need to focus on?

 

 

Variations

Increase difculty: Increase the distance between tee and target. Play with a partner: Have a competition to see who can score the most points with a limited number of throws.
