youtu.be/DRUAiHWWLRQ 0:00How to Do a Soccer Throw In 0:00Hey guys, Matt here from Epic Soccer Training. I want to teach you a video that a couple 0:04of you guys were asking for and thats how to do a soccer throw-in. 0:08OK guys. I want to take you through the basics of how to do a soccer throw-in, teach you 0:15kind of what you can do and what you cant do. So you can get out there and start doing 0:22it correctly. 0:22So again what we want to do is start out balls in hand. We will just pretend that this is 0:28the sideline over here. What you want to do is when you first start out and youre playing 0:34Rec or youre playing beginner soccer, what youre going to want to do is put your feet 0:38behind the line. 0:39Your heels have to be on the ground so you cant Im sorry. You can move your heels but 0:43you cant lift your feet at all. So you cant hop or anything like that or you cant throw 0:49the ball like that. I hope nobody does that. That would be ridiculous. 0:54So again a lot of times, professionals as well, they usually have they dont really 0:58care. So again just ball has to be behind the neck and it has to be released in front. 1:04OK? So you cant actually bless you, Chas. 1:09You cant actually have the ball like this and just kind of throw it forward. It actually 1:13has to be all the way behind your neck. So this is an easy one to practice and you really 1:19shouldnt even have to practice this more than like five times. 1:22But again, so just feet planted. Arch your back because you want to get power. A good 1:28way that I like to hold the ball, its similar to a goalkeeper because I had to teach goalkeepers 1:32how to play a lot. Im going to do a video for you goalkeepers as well. Its to make 1:36a W. So what you want to do, thats whats going to get the most surface area. Really 1:40cock back. Boom! Release it forward. 1:44Then when youre done doing that, youre going to probably learn to do where you actually 1:49step and go forward and then drag your foot. So again what Im talking about, you cant 1:54lift up your foot. Actually Chas, can you hop over here for a second? 1:59If this is a sideline, ignore the goal and youre coming through like this. You have 2:03to put your foot behind the line and then youre going to want to throw and then usually 2:09you will drag your foot because youre going to be getting the reason you do that is you 2:12get momentum. 2:14So youre going to do a little hop and then drag your foot and then youre off. Thats 2:19something youre going to learn in soccer too is your first step should always be moving. 2:22When you pass, your first step should be moving. Its the same with the throw-in. 2:26Again what I like to actually do is to get even more power. As I do this, I do kind of 2:31like this hop where Im running and Im hopping to get more power. So again and the reason 2:38to do that is its kind of torquing your body into momentum. 2:42But when you first start out, you might want to just run up to the line, throw it, and 2:48then drag your foot. One thing that you need to learn that I cant stand when people dont 2:54do this is if youre taking if youre Chas right now, where do you want the ball? Where 3:00would you want the ball? 3:01Chas: My feet. 3:02Matt: At your feet. So dont sit there and throw the ball just anywhere at him. OK? A 3:07lot of people dont have the wherewithal to be able to trap and bring it down really quickly 3:11and even if they trap and bring it down quickly, youre wasting time; and then the defender 3:16is going to be on him. So maybe throw on like a quick fake which will move the defender 3:21over and then boom, right at Chas foot. See how quickly it is he can trap that? Very quickly. 3:28So again, thats something that you can do as well. So I want to teach you the basics 3:33of how to do a throw-in in soccer again. Keep your back leg down. Make sure that if youre 3:38moving up forward, youre dragging it and youre not lifting it up. Youre going to 3:42get called for that unless youre playing professional and you could probably just jump 3:45in the air and throw it because they dont really care anyway. 3:48So thats the basics. So comment, like, subscribe. Do all that. Let me know. Also, Im going 3:54to be filming a video for those of you that are in the Epic Soccer Training members area, 3:58the guys that got the course which you can check that out too of how I went from playing 4:03just average, being an average player to being a game-changing All-American and professional 4:07player as well. 4:08Im going to do my favorite trick throw-in for you guys.
