Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to determine the effects of five different approaches in teaching the overhand throw for accuracy. The five approaches were through mechanical principles and kinesthetic cues, mechanical principles, kinesthetic cues, practice, and no practice. A pilot study using 7th graders was conducted to test the procedures for the actual study. The actual study was then undertaken, and two physical education classes consisting of fifty 8th grade girls were selected as subjects for this study. The Overhand Throw for Accuracy Test from the American Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation was given as the pre-, midway, and post tests. The subjects were equated and divided into five groups by their Intelligence Quotient scores and pre-test scores.
