Overhand
Know that the overhand throw is both easier and more accurate.
Grip the ball with your fingertips, using hardly any of your palm. Use either two or three fingers and your thumb to hold the ball, folding the others in toward your palm.
Turn your head toward your target.
Rotate your body sideways, extending your glove toward the target for balance.
Pull the ball back.
Throw - your arm goes up and out to your target, your wrist snapping just as the ball is released. Your thumb comes off the ball first, and then your fingertips do. Follow through by moving your arm out and down across your body.
Sidearm
Use the sidearm throw if the distance of the throw is shorter or you don't have time to straighten up before throwing. This is a much faster throw.
Place your weight on your rear foot, your upper body slightly rotated and flexed forward.
Bend the elbow of your throwing arm, keeping it higher than your wrist, and bring it back between your waist and shoulder.
Cock your wrist with the back of your hand facing up. As your weight transfers forward, your upper body rotates toward the side opposite your throwing arm.
Bring your arm around to your side - almost parallel to the ground.
Rotate your forearm, snap your wrist and release the ball with your arm following through.
