Simple tactics for throw-ins
By David Clarke
I find that when young players pick
up the ball for a throw-in and are faced by one of their team mates very
close to them, they usually end up performing a foul throw because they
do not need to throw the ball very far.
The way to stop them doing this is to give them tactics that both the thrower and receiver have practised before the match.
A
player too close to the thrower is not in a good position anyway. What
you are looking for is a player on the move who can take the ball in
their stride and use it to advance up the pitch.
Throw-ins are good attacking weapons but you also need to be able to make the most of them when you are defending as well.
I
use these four throw-in tactics to give all my teams good, basic
tactics so they know what to do when they pick the ball up. You should
try them too.
-
In picture 1, A throws to B, who gives the ball back to A with the inside of the right foot on the volley.
-
Once your players have done it a few times with their right foot, player B does the same, this time using the left foot as shown in picture 2 – again playing the ball from the throw-in before it touches the ground.
Concentrate on the quality of the throw-in
Player A must make sure his throw makes it easy for B to move to the
ball and volley back. The throw should put the ball at the right height,
in the right spot and at the right pace.
Make sure your throwers concentrate on this, aiming the ball in the general direction of B is not good enough.
Players should not be put under pressure
A ball thrown at chest or head height will put B under pressure because defenders will have a chance of intercepting the ball when B tries to control it.How to progress
-
You can progress the throw-in practice, as shown in picture 3, by adding a defender and another team mate.
-
Player A must disguise his throw so the defender runs to the wrong player.
Support and move from the throw-in
-
As shown in picture 4, add
another defender. This time the thrower and his attackers must support
each other once the initial throw has been made.
-
Player B must receive the ball, pass to C then support the pass so C can pass back to him. Or C can pass long to A, who has run into an attacking position down the wing.
-
Alternatively, B can either play the ball back to A and set up an attack, or retain possession, and still set up a 3v2 situation.
