Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Introduction to throwins

Introduction to throw ins

To set the exersize up stagger the goals as shown in the diagram.

The players line up on the outside of the grid as if ball has gone out of bounds. One player should be on the field ready to receive the throw. The first player on the outside throws the ball to the player on the field. The player on the field receives the ball and dribbles and scores on goal. The red player would collect his ball and move to the blue line and the blue player would collect his ball and move to the red line. After the throw has thrown the ball he moves to become the player receiving the throw.

Exactly the same as the previous exersize but now we have play going in two different directions, Can blue score without red getting in their way? Can red score faster than blue?

The two lines for each team can be condensed into one. The throw becomes the receiver, the receiver becomes the shooter and the shotter gather their ball and joins the back of their line.

At this point players do not defend the just concentrate on scoring with their own ball.
