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.
