I coached my sons in baseball for a dozen plus years. Make sure your boy has fun. Tennis balls are great. Don't need to start with the glove. Use two hands to catch. Try to center the ball with your (his) body. Above the belly button - thumbs together. Below the belly button - pinkies.
To throw, make a tee with arms parallel to ground. Feet are perpendicular to target and glove hand pointing at target. Step toward target, keep throwing elbow above shoulder and follow through - both feet end up pointing toward target and throwing hand ends up below waist on non-throwing side.
Learn how to do it yourself and model for him. The glove gets in the way of fundamentals. Master throwing and catching a soft ball first.
I'm envious. I really miss the coaching/teaching/learning.
