Tuesday Training Tip: April 24, 2012

Throw-ins can account for close to 20% of total game play during most soccer matches. However, it can be one of the most difficult skills for young or inexperienced players to master. The following tips provided by SoccerHelp.com can help your child develop the proper mechanics for a great throw-in:

 SIMPLE THROW-IN FOR BEGINNERS:

1.) Stand facing the field with feet set apart
2.) Place one hand on each side of the ball
3.) Take the ball behind the head and throw forward onto the field

Remember:

a.) Both feet must stay on the ground
b.) Can stand on or beside the side line
c.) Ball must go behind the head
d.) Must use both hands equally (cannot use only hand and if there is a lot of side spin, the referee may say one hand was used too much)
e.) Beginners should throw towards the other team's goal
