Football Training Tips : How to Throw a Football Better

[dorion946]

thank you



[cheeseheadskickass]

@jgrande345  ur5 poop

[jgrande345]

@cheeseheadskickass what are you five? pff.. yeah I'm poop :D

[mindfku]

wrong , you did not even throw the football....

[TheAndycandy]

that is correct but there's one step he missed -but he does do it in his motion. you turn the ball outward at the beginning of your forward-motion and it gives and extra snap and 3-5 yards to it. you may see that when you try this, the ball has a horrible spiral, you're then doping something wrong, and if you get it right, the spiral will be excellent and your throw will be perfect.:)

[sirlarry1998]

how long does it take to throw a good spiral everytime???

[lakersniners2452]

can anyone help? i can throw a spiral but the nose of the ball ends up facing to the right and the back end of the ball kinda slides out the back its so frustrating cause it spirals all right the nose just faces towards the right

[TboneI989]

@lakersniners2452 : the exact same thing happened to me too when i started throwing..but then i just started to angle the ball to the left and throw it and it comes out straight..not consistently though.,.

[superdidoper]

@TboneI989 I have that problem too but one problem that could be causing the football to turn is that you release early and your not getting the proper 90 degrees

[JAKECROCKETT7]

he's telling you how to throw short and very accurately. which is a problem. they way he does it its almost impossible to throw into coverage accurately. which sometimes you have to do. and you need to know how to do it when the situation presents itself. The truth is that you do need to be a bit wild in your throws to throw off the defender. because trust me by the second quarter or second half they know how you throw. and all of a sudden those first down throws become a pick six.

[DaftedSkater1]

ThAnks so much I watched this when I was 6 and tried with my mini football, now I'm 12 and future varsity QB. Thanks so much

[hkchoi456]

I HAVE THE SAME FOOTBALL!!!

[onigreystar]

omg i can spiral 10 times better



[XxRuthlessx1]

About time I found some that explains better.

[vexeddino]

I'm so accurate and can throw the tightest spiral but I can only throw the football about 30 yards :(

[TjTsjc1]

@vexeddino

me to and thats why I'm here haha



[Gamezero05]

Throwing a football isn't hard... the most important thing is how to properly let the ball roll off of your fingertips.

Being a baseball player, it was natural for me to throw a football. Being a basketball player, it was natural to let the football roll property off my fingers and flick my wrist.

But until somebody showed me specifically how to do it with a football, I could never get that really accurate, tight spiral.

It's like the final piece of the puzzle.

[ultislasher1]

argh cant throw a spiral >.<

[MultiScienceMan]

once i saw that the coach was black i knew this was the video

[pplperson100]

meow

[jsanner2]

Thanks Dave Chapelle!

[StoryofaKid]

@jsanner2 That was my first thought, as well!!

Hahahah!

[bigbadkrenz12]

Rayy Allen.?

[bmx199714]

Nice !!!

[brian7044]

otis? NANANA!!

[FALLENFORFISH]

can someone help me when i do this sometimes it flips forward a bit, does anyone know how to stop it from doing that?

[zaxgamez]

Well, some other videos put some decent information/details to throw a perfect Spiral or throw.

So far, this was the best one. I just need a video that teaches is in left handed.

I AM left handed, and I wanna' know.

Thanks!

[millertime15211]

@zaxgamez Just do the same thing with your left hand...

[zaxgamez]

@millertime15211 I tried, but I can't throw a good spiral.

[shanexxshane]

.. spiral?

[thepossunokkaelukka]

your elbow should be higher than your shoulder before the trow 1:16

[260kevinsutton]

@thepossunokkaelukka depends

[lilturd8686]

watch?v=eVEme7bAMn8

[TheMustacheCaper]

maaan i had to watch some kind of football throwing method or a football game for P.E homework and this really helped! THANK YOU!

[262thelegoman]

That went really far!!!!

[voluzr]

Okay guys he black he good!

[103christine]

@tyler97754 haha, i think the invisible man actually dropped it.

[tyler97754]

umm his pass was incomplete.



[cooki3monstrr]

I think I'd rather listen to a football coach than bunch of people watching a video on how to throw a football. Like my momma always says if you don't have something nice

to say don't say anything at all. THATS RIGHT HATERS.

[Syed2kQuadri]

IM RICK JAMES BITCH!

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

Pretty sure that's not a very good way to throw a football. your bicep should be as close to your ear as possible when you throw and your hand should remain more as a C than a U when you go to flick your release. his was very generic.

[ijumptogethigh]

@HighlandCountyDiesel Thank you Captain Killjoy. This is not QB camp, this is learn to throw a football basics.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@ijumptogethigh well i mean thats pretty fucking basic. i'm sorry you find it so advanced.

[ijumptogethigh]

@HighlandCountyDiesel Which is why I said, and I quote myself here, "throw a football basics". I'm sorry you are a knuckle scraping ape.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@ijumptogethigh I mean what I said is basic, what he said is fucking common sense, ya stupid fucking skeet stain.

[ijumptogethigh]

@HighlandCountyDiesel Let me just state that we were all skeet stains conception, so I do not find that insulting in the least bit. And I agree, what you said is basic, I would be surprised if you had a complex thought in your life.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@ijumptogethigh Dude, You don't fucking know me. And for that I thank god, you have not the slightest Idea on how comprehensive I think. And I don't care if your offended by it or not, that's all you are to me. Don't try to make me think your smart over the internet by trying to find the most advanced synonym you can think of. I'm done even talking to you because no matter how much I want to kick your ass. I'll never have that opportunity. So fuck off. And go learn to throw football.

[ijumptogethigh]

@HighlandCountyDiesel I find it amusing that not only do you try to one up me by doing what you accuse me of doing, but you do not even do that correctly. I mean one could think comprehensively, but one does not comprehensive I think...learn to grammar. Also for you kicking my ass I laugh, and use the same arguement that you use. You don't know me. I grew up in the projects and I am trained in military hand to hand. Also this video was for my little brother who is six, I play college football.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@ijumptogethigh If you play college football then i think you can teach your six year old brother how to throw a football without using the video. And hey you got me but then you say "learn to grammar?" learn to type and proof read maybe. And oh I'm sorry I didn't know i was talking to the Ghetto Rambo. Just because you grew up in the projects doesn't mean shit to me other than you probably own a gun and saw some one get shot over a ziplock bag of weed.

[ijumptogethigh]

@HighlandCountyDiesel Yes I have seen people killed, but over less than a bag of weed. Don't act like you know shit about the projects. My brother uses the same account of me dumbass and watches videos by himself. See if I was home I would show him how to throw a football, but I'm not. I'm trying to make something of my life here. Because in the long run, I don't want to end up like some lowly bitch like you who gets off to pointing out the flaws in other people instead of being useful.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@ijumptogethigh If he was watching the video by himself then how did you fucking see my comment to open your stupid ass mouth, and it's not hard to figure out the projects are fucking shitty hell holes where people die for no fucking reason. But I could care less if you were raised in one, it doesn't intimidate me. And oh okay yeah you don't want to end up like me? Because going to college, having a job and coaching sports is just such an awful life to have.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@ijumptogethigh And this is one instance of me correcting someone else and it was for the better of other people viewing the video so maybe when they start to learn to throw a football they do it the correct way instead of developing bad habits that are harder to fix on down the road.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@HighlandCountyDiesel But AHHH !!! seriously this is stupid. We're fighting over something completely pointless It started off about how to throw a football, I'm sorry, I don't know your life, nor how hard it's been or what you've seen, But you also don't know mine nor how hard I work so I can pay to go to college. I assume your a solider and I thank you for what your doing for our country.

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@HighlandCountyDiesel But we just don't know each other and have to leave it at that instead of wasting our time arguing when no one is ever going to win. You just don't have to be so sarcastic man, all I was trying to do was let people know a good technique. sorry it took like 5 comments to say all that but it wouldn't just let me email the bastard.

[wasdud9]

@HighlandCountyDiesel

not really that works for about five throws then all your throws are off and your shoulder hurts

[HighlandCountyDiesel]

@wasdud9 I mean that's how Tom Brady teaches people to throw a football. But you probably know more than him.

[MrYoudeadfool]

this video help.

[JLAL4]

no transfering weight or opening hips or stepping toward your target or follow through??? and yes like the guy below me said, its laces not threads my man

[assassinsorigami]

this are called threads ......no there called laces

[TheDarkie12]

@assassinsorigami maybe they are called threds to...

[assassinsorigami]

@TheDarkie12 no im pretty sure there called laces

[TheDarkie12]

@assassinsorigami yup they are called laces but maybe they are called threds too.

[Immozz]

i got the same exact football :)

[mrtrigger155555]

k well first off thats not really how u throw a football lol

[vietpi]

I would love to try this out buy my arm is still sore from 6pack shortcut work out videos

[MetalxXxManxXx666]

that was completly wrong. im not here bcuz of how good expert village is. it got recommended for me bcuz i watched an interception by Troy Polamalu. expert village sucks you hold the ball the way you feel comfortable based on the size of your hand

[mauryflan95]

ok, but my hand is half the size of yours :(

[FusionSkateboards123]

more likes than dislikes its an expert village miracle!!!!!!!

[happyflipper40]

Bhjjg

[TheDarkie12]

dude you deserve better than expertvillage

[QualifyTheDeal]

It's not just about throwing the football... You have to find a football that fits your hand... Although regulation type footballs are the ones you should probably use... like the ones you can find on the Qualify The Deal website

[swizzbeats1212]

He has the same ball a me

[ESPsandEmgs]

@swizzbeats1212

I have TWO balls!

[FlawlessVictorygamin]

im graduating my freshman year of highschool, and i want to play football next year. im 5 11 190 pounds. i want to tryout for fullback but just in case i dont make it, the coaches want me to try playing the line. should i try out for the o line or the d line? i really need some advise. if you need any more info, just ask.

[bangbaba2]

@FlawlessVictorygamin D line, you'll get to hit people more. O line is boring. All you do is stand there and block. I'm sure you'll like hitting people so go for D line.

[kameron667]

@FlawlessVictorygamin d line always d line dude a lot funner

[curlyhairfreak1]

@FlawlessVictorygamin take D-End,

[AceKylar]

1:15 for the football throwing :)

[punjatti101]

He sounds so awkward...

[0megaHorizon]

Coming from a coach, I've been looking for a perfect video to show my players how to do all the basic steps correctly, and even though I'm not a fan of expertvillage, this was a really helpful video, and probably the best one on YouTube for this. Good job.

[103christine]

@0megaHorizon it was a really good video, i'm a girl football player, a receiver, many people don't expect that of a girl.

[APinkPancake]

@0megaHorizon Shouldn't yo teach him.

[florentinsosa]

[Mitsuru345]

@florentinsosa Ok then y r u on this vid?

[florentinsosa]

i know how to throw a fotball im not stupid -.-

[maxiscool5]

thank you dave chappel

[Artopunk14]

Thank you Otis.

[ReassuringSmile]

what if your hands arent big enough?

[vachamps]

@ReassuringSmile...slide your hand back, a good rule of thumb is have your thumb parallel to the ground when the football is straight up and down, now get your other hand to mirror the first and have your middle fingers just barely touch when stretched tight, now move your hand up and down the ball until your thumbs are about a half inch apart, that's about your home position and should give you enough control

[BlackSN8K]

i can throw a football better.

[XxUSSoldierXx]

I can't believe that skinny crackheads was right lol thumbs up! xD

[maw1011]

is that dave chappelle?

[lildjohnson95]

[snake2477]

[MegaSniperBoi]

My brother and I play football ,He told me to hold it at threads and hold pinkie up and look up a little above head were I throw and it would go to them

[nintendojesse]

[FunsPeople]

@nintendojesse rolf! we've found him

[REDSKINS8923]

[TheDrichardson1]

that football looks to big for him lol

[cutiex00x]

I can throw far but its not a good throw like a spiral

[MrBigSmoothie]

at the end after he threw it "My name's Otas, hopefully you'll throw a football better."

[xlxknightxlx]

WTF how do you have 138,714 videos........

[theultimatus96bgpe]

1:16 lol

[hellomynameisdumb]

this is a really helpful video

[HandsomeNamed]

A helpful vid, cheers.

The other vids skipped right over how to grip the ball, which was the only area I was unsure of.

Now it's a shame there are no teams I can play on in my country ;)

[madjak007]

@HandsomeNamed Where do you live?

[radedrummer2096]

[Ichigo8a]

@DemonKast Lmao i tried the Translate Audio thing, it was the funniest thing i have ever seen.

[TheFinvelociraptori]

@DemonKast You mean Transcribe Audio?

[ziggyrawksomuch]

[hippy1389]

[Cachito805]

[kkawesome1234]

This was actually a really good video and it helped me throw a football better!

people are just hating on this vid because it is by expertvillage

[WatchPlayDownload]

@kkawesome1234 Exactly, because its by Expertvillage. But this is good.

[lordvoldemort578]

@kkawesome1234 Why are you suppose to leave a pocket between your hands and the ball? i did it never understood why though?

[smarttpantz]

@lordvoldemort578 because if you dont, the tip of the ball is going to be down as you bring it pst your ear, causing i to go into the ground.

[souljaboyflu]

@kkawesome1234 inr y do ppl hate expert village so much.!?

[DickHead69able]

@JassyKaur101 you mean "fascinating"

[DickHead69able]

0:07... "place our hands on a football so we can hold it well and feel it good?"

sounds like this black dude is describing women

[MrMZaccone]

@DickHead69able Must be hard to play football with that pointy white hood on.

[HELLSACOOLTODD]

@DickHead69able Throw it good, not feel it good.

[MultiFootballfan123]

This didn't  help me throw it just took some of my accuracy away lolz

[SuperDJEdd]
