Throw-ins


This week and last week we practised our throw-ins. We learnt that there are two types of throw-ins - the Short throw-in and the Long throw-in.

We learnt that these are the most important things to remember when performing a throw in:


- Both feet must be on the ground when the ball is thrown.


- Hands must be directly over the head
- The ball must be thrown straight (without spinning)

- Bring the ball back so it is over and behind your head.


- Throw the ball to your team-mate making sure it doesn’t spin left or right.

- The ball must come from directly over the top of the head.


If the above is not followed in a match, then the throw-in will be awarded to the other team!


You can continue to practice your short and long throw-ins at home - either in your garden or at the park.


Remember practice makes perfect! Good luck!
