Why it matters
Long-term development starts with avoiding extra throwing when tired.
02 / SET UP
What you need
With an adult, review the league rules, recent throwing workload, and a practice space.
03 / PRACTICE IT
How to do the drill
Warm up with easy movement; discuss sore versus ready; identify when to stop; do five shadow pitcher starts without a ball.
ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Healthy arm first.”
04 / PLAY IT
Today's skill-game challenge
Explain two reasons to stop and one safe warm-up habit.
05 / WATCH FOR IT
One common mistake
Treating “throw harder” as the goal.
Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
