Measure her throwing speed with a crow hop if she's able to do it regardless of what position she plays. You want her top speed posted... A college coach told DD that years ago and he said at camps to be sure to be aggressive when tested for speed because you don't have to worry about accuracy when throwing into a net.

This is what I've seen many twice? Never paid attention how the players arm circles were just saw them do a little crow hop or step. My guess is that the college players and/or coaches will explain the technique used to measure velocity this way they can compare apples to apples so to speak.

I only used highlights for K's videos showing throws from the fence and put-outs. But, the biggest thing she did was throw out 2 kids at home from CF during a camp.
