Step 1: Someone says go and both coaches for each team will underhand toss one ball at a time the first player and will under hand toss down the line on their team in a zig zag format, until tall the balls get to the other side of that coaches bucket. When all the balls have been transferred over, that coach start that process over and transfer all the balls back the other way still doing under hand toss throws until all the balls end up on the other sides coaches bucket. When that’s done, the under hand toss drill is complete.

Step 3: After the Dart Throws drill is complete. Have 3 more players move back to the farthest pylon on both sides. Now your players will be at the farthest pylon and doing full throws zig zag to each other, transferring all the balls from one end to the other and back.

Rules of Drill/Game: After you’ve gone through all 3 progression throws and your players get a feel for how all the drills work, you can turn into a game. Teams will go head to head doing the same thing but as soon as the under hand toss drill is completed, they go straight to the dart throw drill and then the full length throws until the balls end up in the bucket with the coach who started. First team to do this wins the game.
