Living in the Pacific Northwest it is sometimes difficult in the winter months getting the throwing time in that I want with my 12 year old. Lets face it, this place is rainy as all get out and the boy (and myself) really don't like going out and throwing in a field in the pouring rain. When it isn't raining we get outside but we get two to three straight weeks of rain sometimes and it is difficult.
I want him to maintain arm strength during this time period but it is difficult. We have an indoor batting cage in town with about an 80 foot length that he can practice pitching and flat throwing and that is fine but what other suggestions can I get to keep that arm strength up during the winter months. I have had him do band work and a lot of stretching to increase flexibility and overall arm strength but there is no alternative to throwing the baseball.
