Interesting how some say long toss is counterproductive. I guess someone needs to inform Monica Abbott as that is a key part of her regimen. My DD works at 67-68 and utilized both long toss and weighted balls for about 5 years. Weight training is fine but kind of ludicrous if only for a 3 month HS Season. Unless HS is the end game you need to look beyond that. A HS coach will turn you into the best HS player you can be. Which will not get you beyond HS. Peak athletic performance is a year round commitment. There is no "off season" only times of less than full intensity. You need to train, condition, and eat properly year round.
We've been to many college and NPF games and frequently see pitchers doing long toss. Some of these NPF pitchers are probably doing long toss from literally 200'. Our pitching instructor recommends long toss in the off season to strengthen the arm.
i am looking to see if anybody can provide any websites, YouTube videos, etc. to show which drills work best for their DD in their development.
