[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is 9 and doesn't snap arm down when throwing (although can still throw far--easily reach target at 1st when playing 3rd) -- any suggestions on drills, or even reading materials (DC reads a lot of sports books) to help with this? Was hoping coaching staff this season would notice it and call it out but there was zero technical instruction from the coaches DC got assigned this season (AA).
Also, any recs for players in ANSLL area for fun off-season skills camps for this age level?[/quote]

OP here:

Generally I would just instruct a player to warmup using a wrist flick drill where you support your elbow by propping it up with your glove underneath. Bicept parallel to the ground. The key is to keep your forearm verticle and flick your wrist at your target. Do this about 8ft away from your throwing partner.

Essentially to clean things up for your child just tell them to flick their fingers at release towards the intended target and hold for two seconds. Eventually they’ll see that where they flick their fingers towards is where the ball will go.
