Oftentimes, throwing the ball in is an overlooked skill in soccer. It doesn’t seem that important and most of the time, isn’t even practice. The reality is though, being able to throw in the soccer ball with accuracy and power is a great skill to have. You can take advantage of this when the ball is close to goal. If you can’t get a corner, cross the ball in with a long throw.
Supplies:
- 1 ball
- 2 cones (optional)
Set up:
Find an open place with a clear line resembling the touchline.
Instructions:

Tips:
- If you cannot throw the ball forward, look back to see if your defense can come up and receive it
