Overhand Throwing with Elementary

The past two weeks, elementary students have been working on overhand throwing.  They are taught the key words, "T", "L", "Step", "Throw."  It is great to see the progression and improvement in each student.  It is important for them to continue practicing their skills at home.  Below are some students in action as they practice the cues together.
