Best Answer

To throw a football, hold the football in your hand with the laces under your fingertips. Then pull your arm back, to your head or past it. Bring your arm forward in a slightly curved outward motion, overhand. As you release the ball, close your hand, bringing your fingers inward (as if making a fist), pulling down on the laces to impart a spiral spin to the ball.

On a hard throw, twist your upper body to the side away from that arm, to add power, and your arm should curve back in front of your body. On a softer throw, it will move forward, and then downward as the elbow straightens.

Practice your throwing motion until you can consistently hit a standard bed pillow placed 40 feet (10 m) away, or until you can put the ball into a moving player's hands at that distance or less.

im 13 and can throw a ball about 55 yrds, so this is what you do. take your hand and have a tight grip on the football. put your middle finer on the outside of the end lace, and spread your index finger aprat from it [for a better spiral] throw with your legs, the forward momentum wil make the ball go much further, make sure not to throw the ball to high up, for it wont go as far

How far can you throw a baseball and football?

I think I can throw a football preety high. The weight of the football helps the ball travel at a high speed so when I let go of theball it takes off fast. As it gets higher and gravity starts to pull it down, the weight will act against it and slow the ascent. Once it reaches it's peak, the weight of the football will make it fall to the ground faster.
