Michael, if you have a yard then you collect some dirt and build one. I did this when I was a kid. If you are inside then it cost me like $50 to build this mound http://www.blindhope.com/Portable%20Pitcher%20Pag...

The 3X Pitching Velocity Program has drills that train all of these high velocity components and yes many of these drills are off the mound.

ok, so is pitching off a mound the only way to help increase external rotation and forward trunk tilt or all in your program?

You said "does not allow for early external roation" and I said "reducing forward trunk tilt and external rotation". This is different.

nvm I did mean external "all this time that long toss puts more elbow varus torque on the arm and changes your release point specifically reducing forward trunk tilt and external rotation."

I didn't say it does not allow for early external rotation. It has more to do with forward truck tilt at release than external rotation. As for throwing a football it does use different mechanics than pitching because when throwing a football you let the arm get out front a lot earlier. This is why I do football throws using my target drills in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. This puts you in a pitching position when throwing the football. It prevents the arm from getting out front to early.

Since long toss with a baseball does not allow for early external roation like you said, what about playing catch with a football?

The 3X Pitching Velocity Program uses drills, exercises and lifts to train your body to build more hip to shoulder separation. It doesn't come in just one drill.
