Coaching Points for Throwing Overarm and underarm â We are only focusing on the throwing action in this section rather than the collection of the ball prior to the throw. Body Position / Stance â You need to get into a nice LOW and BALANCED position Feet Position â Feet Should be in line with your intended target Front Arm / Elbow â You should at least line your front elbow up with your intended target or you can point your front finger at your target. Throwing arm â Your hand should always be above you elbow when throwing; The movement of your arm should be at a high speed and be fluent throughout. Once you have released the ball you need to follow through with your throwing arm to beyond your front hip. Where to aim? â If you are going for a run out with a direct hit then you should always aim at the bottom of the middle stump. This is because it gives you the most amount of error where you still may hit the stumps. If you are throwing over the stumps then you are trying to hit the area directly above the stumps no more than around 2 feet over the stumps.
