Answer 4

make sure your stretching out your arm well before you practice.

Answer 5

Stretching before the game is crucial, and also try the drill of hitting the ball over hand at the wall.  Aim for a spot just in front of the wall on the floor and the ball should bounce back to a level where can repeat the process with out stopping.  If you  start close to the wall to warm up and gradually move away, it should give your arm and shoulder a good slow warmup.  Also have your coach watch you to see if there is any technical errors with your mechanics.  Other than that try the icy-hot and if the problem continues you should probably check with your doctor.

See an orthopedist, or a doctor that specializes in sports injuries. You may have a rotator cuff problem.
