We’re working on throwing and catching with two hands, as well as with both the left and right hands separately.
Kids at this age are beginning to refine their catching-rather than hugging the ball to their body, we’re working on making cup hands to receive the ball.Īnd at age 7 and up, kiddos are working on twisting their body, transferring their weight as they move through the action, and following through. We’re working on swinging the arm back for an underhand toss, and learning about where the optimum point is to let go of the ball. Next, around age 5 and 6, we’ve started to gain more of an ability to aim the ball where we want it. You might also see your kiddo dropping the ball behind them when doing an overhead throw! At this age, kiddos are more stopping the ball with their body than actually catching it, though they’ll be starting to trap the ball to their chest with both hands.

They also aren’t quite developmentally ready to understand how to throw the ball farther. Kids in this age range haven’t yet developed the ability to aim their ball they’re just throwing, with no real direction in mind.
Did you catch Coach Darsh’s instagram live with Physio Lexy from Kids Physio last week? He was talking all about throwing and catching! We chatted with Darsh to get his most important highlights from that talk, plus some great ideas of activities you can try at home to develop your kiddo’s throwing and catching skills!
