Purpose
- This is an excellent Warm Up Drill for quarterbacks. It will improve arm strength and will help prevent arm soreness.
Description
Two QBs or a QB and Coach or QB and Receiver align across from each other at about a distance of 10 yards. The drill begins with both people in a seated position and they will play catch with the football . It is important to watch the mechanics of the throw to be sure that all the proper mechanics are being followed. This is not a time to develop bad habits.
Throw about 25 balls in each position.
Coaching Points
- Stress both hands on football
- Bring the ball up to the arm pit, then snap it up to the throwing position (cock your gun and fire)
- Be sure to follow through. Remember to roll the thumb over with the index finger being the last to leave the ball
