Today’s lesson.

Adjust to the teammate, not a fixed wall.

Why it matters

Real throws go to moving teammates and different bases.

What you need

Set two wide stationary partner targets or cones in an empty field.

How to do the drill

Coach names target 1 or 2; athlete sets feet and makes an easy controlled throw.

ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Eyes, feet, target.”

Today's skill-game challenge

Choose the right target 6 of 8 times.

One common mistake

Throwing hard before identifying the receiver.

Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
