I'm against tosses being allowed in level 1. Look at middle schools and below, who arent allowed to do tosses at all, even the most elite middle schools that win nationals each year. Not saying I agree with that rule, but letting such young kids do baskets is a scary thing, especially when taught by unqualified coaches. To do a basket, you should be able to do an extension pop cradle. Level 1 is the beginning level, and if we start skipping over progressions, we will see a rise in injuries.
Think about what a basket toss really is. Throw the girl as high in the air as you can and catch her. Do you want beginner 5 year olds trying to do this?
