How To Throw Hand Ball In Soccer

How to Take a Proper Throw-In:

  1. Grip the Ball:
    • Hold the ball with both hands firmly on either side, thumbs on the back and fingers spread around the front.
  2. Position Your Feet:
    • Stand behind the touchline (sideline) where the ball went out of play.
    • Both feet must be on the ground and either behind or on the touchline.
  3. Body Position:
    • Face the direction you want to throw the ball.
    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart for balance.
  4. Wind-Up:
    • Bring the ball back over your head with both hands.
    • Your elbows should be slightly bent, and the ball should be directly above your head.
  5. Throwing Motion:
    • In one smooth motion, bring the ball forward over your head and release it.
    • The ball must come from behind and over the head with both hands.
    • Follow through with your hands after releasing the ball to ensure accuracy and distance.
  6. Feet Stay Grounded:
    • Both feet must remain on the ground until the ball has left your hands.
    • You can drag your back foot if needed but ensure it stays in contact with the ground until release.
  7. Direction and Target:
    • Aim to throw the ball to a teammate.
    • A good throw-in is both accurate and has enough distance to reach your intended target.

Additional Tips:

  • Use Teammates: Look for teammates who are open and make sure to communicate with them.
  • Quick Throws: Sometimes taking a quick throw-in can catch the opponents off guard.
  • Practice: Like any skill, practicing your throw-ins can help you improve your technique and accuracy.

By following these steps, you can execute a proper throw-in, adhering to the rules of soccer, and help maintain possession for your team.
