Stage:
Intermediate
Stage Characteristics:
The ball is thrown in with two hands, it is overhead, and the feet are left on the ground. The ball enters the field of play.

Cue:
Make sure both feet are on the ground; Arch back and throw with two hands.
Improvement
Stage: Intermediate
Stage Characteristics:
1. Bring the ball behind the head
2. Taking steps and dragging back foot prior to the throw
3. Release of ball behind the head
What to Change: One major way the subject could improve this skill is practice her footwork going into the throw so that it is quicker, more relaxed, and less steps taken (about 3 steps or so in all). The subject could also arch her back prior to releasing the ball in order to gain more power in the throw.
Cues: Arch back prior to release
Use proper motion going into the throw
Use legs and lower back muscles for power too
Hustle provides power
