Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Demonstrate to learners with a ball to stand with the foot opposite the throwing hand forward. Let them stretch their hands backward but below the shoulder by bending the trunk sideways towards the stretched hand. Instruct them to swing the stretched arm with the ball forcefully and throw the ball to the target by moving the trunk briskly up and pointing non-throwing hand towards the direction of throw. After throwing, encourage the learners to move the hind leg forward for recovery/balance.
