Highlights:

Underhand Vertical Squat Throw

• Stand in a tall posture and hold the medicine ball in front of the body at waist height
• Descend into a low squat, keeping the torso upright, arms extended and ball in front of the body to generate additional force from the lower body
• Extend vertically from the knees and hips, accelerating the body upward similar to a squat jump movement and maintain an extended arm position through the jump; if enough force is generated during the throw, it is common for the feet to leave the ground
• At the top of the squat, pull the medicine ball powerfully upward along the body for maximum height on the throw; the trajectory of the throw can be vertical or slightly forward, particularly if passing to a partner
• The body can extend off the floor at the end of the throw, particularly if it is a powerful effort; make sure the ball does not hit you when it falls back down

Split-stance Scoop Throw

• Start in a moderate split stance with the feet approximately 12-16 inches (30-40 cm) apart from heel to toe (the stance width can be similar to the width of the shoulders) and maintain an upright posture, holding the medicine ball to one side of the body with the arms extended
• Draw the medicine ball back past the rear hip and then throw the ball forcefully in a powerful underhand scoop throw to a partner or against a solid wall; the partner returns the ball to the height of the mid-section (if using a wall throw, stand close enough to the wall to have the ball returned to waist height with a powerful throw) Repeat the throw in a rhythmic fashion on one side, then switch to the other side for the next set.

Kneeling Lateral Underhand Pass

• Get into a kneeling position perpendicular to the direction of the throw and hold the medicine ball in front of the body at waist height (the throw can be to a partner or against a solid wall); kneel on a soft surface or with an appropriate pad or exercise mat beneath the knees
• Draw the ball away from the direction of the throw, rotating the shoulders relative to the hips to pre-stretch the muscles of the core. Throw the medicine ball powerfully across the body with the path of the ball close to the abdomen; follow through with the arms and shoulders on the release of the ball
• When receiving the ball from a partner or a rebound off the wall, catch the ball in advance of the body and rotate back to the far side of the body to prepare for the next throw
  Perform on one side of the body in one set, then switch to the other side for the next set.

Kneeling Medicine Ball Overhead Pass

• Begin the exercise from a bilateral kneeling position on a soft surface
  Draw the medicine ball behind the head and then pass powerfully to a partner or against a firm wall
• Use a lighter medicine ball and a closer distance between yourself and your partner or the wall for easier passes from the kneeling position because throwing from this position places greater stress on the arms and shoulders
• Receive the ball from a partner throw or wall rebound at the point of initial release; once the catch is made above the head, allow the ball to draw back behind the head to load the primary muscles to stretch in preparation for the next throw
• Maintain a firm posture throughout the exercise with a strong, stable stance from the kneeling position
