There are plenty of ways to get your qb's arm warmed up during pre-practice. I have witnessed many variations of warm-up drills but I believe this video gives a pretty good idea of what your qb should be doing during pre-practice warm-ups. There are a few other drills I really like for pre-practice and I will try to include videos on those in the near future. It is important to keep in mind a couple things while coaching your qb's warm-up throws:
1. Make sure he is always throwing to a specific target. What I mean by this is, dont just allow him to throw to another player, make him pin-point a specific location on that player as his target, every single throw...e.i. the head, left shoulder, right shoulder, chest. This will help improve concentration and accuracy and avoid forming bad habbits during warm-ups.
2. Your qb should never have dead feet during warm up throws. It doesnt matter if he is throwing at a target five yards away or thirty yards away, he should always keep his feet "hot". If his feet are stationary during warm-up throws, then he will be stationary in the pocket.
This is not a period to be going through the motions. Bad habbits can easily develope during warm-ups. Keep a close eye on mechanics, effort, and the two concepts presented above.
