![]() ![]() What happens is that the wrestlers will hold onto their opponent by wrapping their arms around each other. It is something that is commonly used in both amateur and professional wrestling matches. Wrestlers will use a throwing move known as the turkey toss. One other very popular sport where this toss is used is wrestling. It also helps if the hands are spread a lot. The reason why it is so hard is that people need to keep their arms very close together. Most people who play basketball will say that it is much harder to throw than running with a running start. A basketball is usually thrown using a high-hand throw which requires a lot of arm strength. Basketball (under arm throw technique)Īnother common form of this throw is basketball. The arms close together help to ensure that the thrower’s arms do not have to travel very far to throw the ball. Many people have said that it can be very difficult to throw the ball further if your arms are too far apart. Since the arms are close together, it makes it much easier for the thrower to throw the ball further. In this sport, the throwing motion is done by keeping both arms close together. This is where the arm length to height ratio comes into play. There are people who have a strong arm but for one reason or another they are unable to throw them very far. Many people consider this to be a sport but it is really more of a form of gymnastics. However, this throw does exist in a few different sports. ![]() If you are like most people, then you already know the popular sports that use an underarm toss such as: Challenge children to count the number of times they can clap before they catch the ball or to turn 180 degrees before catching the ball.That is probably the reason why most people do not know about this throw.Provide feedback and praise to children who are experimenting with “tricks.”.Remind children to watch the ball, hold out hands with baby fingers pointing towards each other if receiving ball from someone and finally bring ball into chest to absorb force of the catch.On contact absorb the impact of the catch by lowering the hands.Make a basket shape with their hands with baby fingers pointing at each other.Remind children to release the ball near head level to allow the ball to go vertically above them.For Toss and Catch, emphasize throwing the ball directly up so that it will return directly to the child on the descent. ![]() ![]() Provide a variety of sizes and types of balls for children to use so they can choose one which meets their abilities.Encourage children to be creative and to try new things. Give all children an opportunity to try some of the tricks they saw demonstrated. Select some children to demonstrate their tricks for the class. Working alone or with a partner, children work on different tossing and catching challenges. Children vary the height of their throws. Children explore and experiment with moving and catching. Tossing TricksĬontinuing with the upward underhand tossing motion, children attempt to perform small tasks or “tricks” before catching the ball (e.g., clap their hands, touch their knees, or touch the floor). Consider suggesting creative scenarios for throwing and catching and having children share their own creative scenarios. After several turns, children will try to catch the ball before it bounces on the floor using an underhand catch. Using an underhand throwing motion, children explore tossing a ball into the air, letting it bounce once on the floor and catching it. Assessment OpportunityĮL-K Team observation of children’s demonstrated application of spatial awareness using large and small muscles as well as hand eye coordination in movement (underhand throwing) while using equipment can be recorded on the Anecdotal Recording Chart. Remind children to be cautious when moving, and to be aware of personal space. Clearly outline the boundaries for the activity making sure there is a safe distance between the activity area and the furniture/walls. Inspect activity area for safe traction and eliminate potential hazards. ![]()
