The one knee drill is one of the best drills to teach a player how to throw or to correct poor throwing mechanics. What this drill does is that takes the legs out the equation and isolates the upper body. This drill is great at reinforcing mechanics such as squaring the shoulder, follow throw, and glove hand pointing.

Here in the midwest, the crazy weather patterns are not conducive to outdoor practices. That leaves us the school gyms. Running an indoor practice can be challenging at times and can borderline on dangerous due to the sheer number of people crammed into a small space.

As the start of tryouts approach, I thought it would be a good time to revamp one of the sections of the site that I think will get the most use. I am currently in the process of revamping the drill pages.
