We limit long toss to a certain distance because it creates breakdowns in mechanics. We see that the girls actually use their arm and elbow too much, and it is not supportive enough of a movement for real pitching. At some point we want them working on spins too, so there is limited time in HS.
These are some sites to poke around. We tend to want the pitchers to do varied activites that do not always involve the pitching motion.
