A Clever Way To Receive a Throw in | 5 Simple Steps | Tutorial

Did you know that on average there are 40 to 50 throw ins per game in the English Premier League? And that teams lose the ball more than 50 percent when their players receive throw ins under pressure?
Here are 5 steps for a clever way of receiving a throw in. They’re simple, underrated and highly effective when done right.
0:56 (Step 1 - Verbal Communication) - The ball has just gone out for a throw in and your teammate goes to grab it. As they are walking back to the line, call their name to get their attention.
1:05 (Step 2 - Eye Contact) - After the verbal communication, follow this up with eye contact and hold their gaze to maintain their attention.
1:13 (Step 3 - Signal) - The key step. As you’re holding the gaze of the thrower, make a signal that they can see, but hide it from the defender. Our favorite is a finger point from the hip. Typically defenders will be goal side on throw ins, so your point will be safe side towards your own goal.
1:43 (Step 4 - Double Movement) - Now the thrower knows where you want to receive it, you need to create space. The double movement is a great way of doing this. The first movement in a double movement is for the defender, the second movement is for you to receive.
Trick the defender by walking away slowly, pretending you’re not interested in receiving the ball. They’ll typically follow you, but you’ll lose their attention through your disinterest in the ball. As soon as you’ve created some distance in your walk, burst back into the space towards where your finger was first pointing. The thrower should give you the ball.
2:11 (Step 5 - Receiving) - How much separation you’ve created between yourself and the defender will dictate what you do with the ball. If the defender is still close by, you could pass the ball back quickly to the thrower, but if you’ve created a good amount of space, you can take a touch and turn out.

Sensational video. So underrated. I've learnt so much in 4min. I used to be scared of receiving throw ins because i was scared I'd lose possession, but this is gonna make me fight to receive for a throw in for tomorrow's training. Thank you!

[@beesterasoccertraining]

Really appreciate the comment Jeun! Did you use it in training? If so, how did it go?

[@nickolasharris8569]

Very helpful. I feel like throw-ins often go under the radar, especially at the higher levels.

[@beesterasoccertraining]

Thanks for your comment Nikolas. Yes, so so important. A few clubs have hired a 'throw-in' specialist to help them keep possession better!

[@neiljones8093]

Great three steps. Have you got any drills to get guys to move into space so there are more passing options please.

[@beesterasoccertraining]

Neil, thanks very much for your comment. We can definitely put something together

Thank you amazing video. I used this in a game, got possession of the ball, crossed the ball and my team scored.
