SOCCER SKILLS


If the ball goes out of bounds over a touch line, the team that last touches the ball loses possession. A member of the opposing team return the ball to play with a throw-in.

How To Do The Throw In:

1.To do a throw in you must put the ball behind your head with your hands on the ball in a position like a W. Player stands at the point where the ball crosses the line and throws the ball overhead using both hands.

2.You can't lift your feet off the ground when you do a throw in, but you can run up to the touch line before releasing the ball. You want to be able to throw the ball as far in towards a teammate.

3.Than you throw the ball in to one of your teammates. If thrown in is incorrectly done, the opposite team get a chance to throw in.

Coach Mark hint to improve your Throw in:

Take an old soccer ball and cut a hole large enough to pour sand inside ball. Fill the soccer ball with sand 3 to 5 pounds and practice the throw in. When you go to perform a throw-in during a game, the ball will seem light to you since there is no sand inside and you will be able to achieve a greater distance.
