An overarm throw is the fastest and most accurate way to pass a ball from one player to another.

Stage one

• Stand shoulder width apart, sideways on to the target, on the balls of your feet with the weight transferred to the back foot.
• The throwing arm is taken back behind the head at a 90° angle.
• Point the non-throwing arm at the target.

Stage two

• Transfer the weight from your back foot to your front foot by rotating your hips and torso toward the target.
• Pull the throwing arm through toward the target leading with your elbow and your forearm and wrist following last and fast.
• Release the ball just in front of your head with both feet on the ground and the chest facing the target.
• Follow through with your throwing arm pointing toward the target.
