Step 1
Grip the football by interlacing your fingers between the football's laces and seams.
-
Step 2
Protect the ball by cradling it with two hands, and hold it just under your chin as you step back to throw.
-
Step 3
Cock your throwing arm back with your elbow bent.
-
Step 4
Extend your free arm in front of you for balance; point the arm and hand at your target.
-
Step 5
Keep your shoulders level for a short pass (10 yards or less); dip the shoulder of your throwing arm for longer distances.
-
Step 6
Snap your arm forward and follow through with your shoulders and hips as your weight shifts to your front foot.
-
Step 7
Release the ball when your arm is slightly above your head and out to the side.
-
Step 8
Add velocity and spiral to the ball by flicking your wrist and fingers just as you release it.
-
Step 9
Finish with your index finger pointing forward and down, and with your palm facing the ground.

on 9/15/2008 To throw a football start with the ball under your chin before you throw. Cock ur throwing arm back and follow through with your shoulderts and hips. When you release the football have your thumb pointing towards the ground

on 10/18/2007 how to throw a football further - for a righty leftfoot goes in front and as you throw ur right foot should follow. to throw far u have to throw a spiral or the ball wont pierce threw the air. also to throw far u have to let lose of the football as if u were throwing 10 yards becuse if u try to throw as far as possible u will mess up. throw as u would do not change ur posture. even though people throw side arm u shouldnt because that can damge your elbow. pratice makes perfect throw at least 5 times a week. pat
