The women’s game is far superior to the men’s

They really are two different games. I like watching women’s more because that’s what I know. There were two simple rule changes to the women’s game this year that made a giant improvement, green cards for open field fouls and held whistles for shooting space calls (think basketball with using technicals for clear path and allowing the shot to continue for fouls during shots).
Whats great about the sport is you can practice/grow alongside him and help coach. Once kids get older and don’t do as much with their parents, having time to casually toss a ball around in the afternoon is priceless.

We learned to throw by spending 100's of ours in front of a brick wall.
Probably a stretch for a 5 year old’s attention span, but this is the correct answer along with pocket adjustment.
Lots of reps with my good ol’ buddy Bricky in the driveway (or basement when cold) learning to throw and catch. It doesn’t come easy and is a shitload harder to both do and teach than something like baseball, especially since it’s a relatively “new” sport to many parts of the country so a lot of parents are totally lost.
Along with the recommendations to work on his scooping, teach him cradling (both sides) and he’ll be putting other little brats to shame on ball security alone. The feel for cradling also takes a while to really click for lots of us.

Fun sport - super niche but if you find a community and it clicks for him, you’ll enjoy watching him grow in it.
Also, totally fair approach to let him just try a ton of stuff and see when something does start to stick
For a real young one you could do silly games like mini obstacle courses or Easter egg hunt style setups where he has to run and scoop a bunch of balls to return to a bucket
