It's Hard Teaching Kids

How To Throw

Limited Coordination & Motor Skills

Tee ball age kids are still developing basic hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills. Throwing requires a complex sequence of movements.

Small Hand Size

Balls are too big for small hands to grip properly, resulting in a lot of awkward throws.

Lack of Strength & Muscle Control

Throwing takes a certain amount of strength and stability, which is very limited in tee ball age kids.

Short Attention Spans

Developing throwing skill requires a lot of focus and patience, which are in short supply at this age.

Fear of the Ball

Being hit by the ball can be a big concern and distraction, getting in the way of productive practice.

Learn to Throw inFour Easy Steps!

The Rookie Rocket target displays 4 easy to follow visual cues that guide the arm along an optimal path.

  • 1
    Starting Position
    01.

    Starting Position

    This queues the player into starting the throw while standing sideways with the forearm through the sleeve, and hand gripping the ball naturally from the side.

    The sooner a player learns to start a throw facing sideways instead of facing front, the better!

  • 2
    Twist and Pull
    02.

    Twist and Pull

    This queues the player to twist their hand so the fingers are on top of the ball. The sleeve is set in a position so just as the ball comes out of the sleeve, the upper arm and elbow reaches the optimal shoulder height every time!

  • 3
    Turn and Flip
    03.

    Turn and Flip

    The forward rotation of the hips stretches the torso muscles which in turn rotate the shoulders, naturally laying the forearm back while the elbow stays up - in a perfect low stress, high velocity throwing position.

  • 4
    Ball Release - Nice Throw!
    04.

    Ball Release - Nice Throw!

    As the player completes the throw by rotating the shoulders and torso forward and then down, the sequential rotation -- hips first, followed by the torso and shoulders -- whips the arm forward at maximum speed with minimal stress.

What The Pros Say

It's More Than Just a Fun Activity

We've adapted pro-level throwing mechanics and a proven arm path trainer for all ages.

The sleeve really makes a difference for catcher's throwing mechanics. Makes a simple, easy to understand, way to practice on their own.

Mike Lieberthal

MLB World Series Champion Catcher

The Pocket Path Arm Action Trainer is the best kept secret in pro ball. It's helped me increase my velocity, command, and most importantly, reduce throwing stress on my arm. It's not just for pitchers — whatever position you play, you have to make strong and accurate throws. I only wish I started using it in Little League.

Joe Kelly

3x MLB World Series Champion Pitcher

The Pocket Path is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve throwing arm action and efficiency. We use this tool in a lot of our staple work prior to our throwing workload but also inside our actual catch play. I highly recommend it to throwers of all ages.
