I have a catcher (12U) that is very tall, but rarely misses a ball in the dirt. She has a very strong arm, but her only draw back is that it takes her FOREVER to get up and going to throw a runner out at 2nd. To compensate for this, she has developed a habit of dropping to her knees and throwing. With this she has gotten a few runners and very close on most.
I didn't teach her this, this is just what she developed on her own.
So the question I have is:
A. Is it better to work on her getting up and establishing footwork knowing that we probably won't throw a runner out for a while or possibly at all; or
B. is there an established way for catchers to throw from their knees?
If you have any ideas on how to implement B effectively, I would appreciate it, as I know that she will be ressitant to A
Thanks
