Have you ever tossed a ball to a friend standing nearby, only to watch it rocket way over their head? To make catching easy and fun, every good throw needs to land inside your partner's target window.
The target window is the chest-level area between your partner's shoulders and waist where their hands can easily catch the ball without reaching wildly.
How do you hit that target window every time when your partner is standing just a few steps away?

Close Range: The Underhand Toss

When your partner is close (about 5 to 10 feet away), use an underhand toss to deliver a soft, controllable pass.
Always step forward with your opposite foot—if you throw with your right hand, step forward with your left foot to keep your body balanced and pointed right at your target.
What happens when your partner takes ten big steps backward across the gym?

Long Range: The Overhand Throw

For longer distances (more than 10 feet), switch to an overhand throw so your whole body can generate power.
Turn your shoulder toward your partner, raise your throwing elbow to make an L-shape, step with your opposite foot, and twist your hips as you throw.
