Focus on: Distance and Accuracy

2. Setup

• Using cones, mark out throwing lines every five yards.
• Players start behind a starting line. Each one has a ball.

Throw-in Competition

• Players try to throw the ball as far as possible, using proper throw-in form with a running start.
• The coach records each player's distance.
• Illegal throw-ins do not count.
• After five rounds, the player with the longest throw is named the "throw-in king."

Variations

• Same as setup 1, but with a medicine ball.
• Accuracy competition: The coach designates a zone (e.g. the zone between the 15- and 20-yard lines) in which the ball has to land. Who can score the most "hits?"
