Throw a 1 to 2 pound ball across the body, keeping the elbow tucked to the side, to the rebounder. Catch the rebounded ball in the same arm position, allowing the arm to comfortably stretch back, and then quickly throw the ball again. Do not pause or stop the ball movement after catching it.

Interval Throwing Program
Interval throwing program:
The ‘Interval throwing program’ is a safe program to follow if you have had a shoulder
injury or a long layoff from throwing competitively.
Throwers who are returning to throwing after injury to the shoulder should follow the
interval-throwing program, exactly, on an every-other-day basis.
The criteria to progress from step to step are that the throwing session was pain free and
there is no residual soreness the next day.
