This teacher, Morgan Stuart, gets a lot of smiles from her drills. She has quite a few on youtube. Do you have favorites to share?

Rolling GBs in practice is underrated. That said, not a big fan of having them stop their feet and pause like that. Young kids have a difficult enough time learning to move through a ball without actually forcing them to not do it..
If you want them to focus on "burying their eyes into the ball" have them field them from their knees.

Phase 1 for the little ones.
Phase 2 - use same concept for phase 2 with proper approach foot work teaching getting the momentum to make a throw.
Phase 3 -2 lines with a throw following the throw
