How to grip and throw a football

Throwing a football can be easy with a little practice!

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• football
• a brain ;)

2. Your middle and index finger should be on the curve of the ball, close to the point.

3. Your thumb should be comfortably fitting under the football to support it in your hand.

4. To throw it, you must put the ball up by your head and support it with your other hand to prevent it from falling.

6. As you follow through, you flick your wrist downward all the way until your thumb is touching your knee.
