THROWING

Getting the Nursery children to throw correctly will allow them to build up their confidence in judging distance. Building in fun games to do this will allow the child to learn in a fun environment.

​

Top Tip

During the throwing phase, direct your child to “step forward with the opposite foot” from his throwing hand. During follow-through, remind him to “follow the throw” with his arm straight to the target. Master each phase one at a time. Spend a few days or a week working on each phase of throwing.

Coordination is the body's ability to perform smooth and efficient movements. Good coordination for children requires them to combine multiple movements into a single movement that is fluid and achieves the intended goal.
