Attacking Throw In - The Fake Long Throw
This attacking throw in is designed to exploit the space behind the fullback and creating a crossing opportunity
for a strike on goal. The throw in should be performed only around the area level with the edge of the penalty area. Do not try the throw if a defender is covering the space.
Two players are positioned at each side of the arc. Two players are strategically positioned around the outside
of the penalty area to look for any rebounds or loose balls. One player is positioned to attack the back post area.
One player walks slowly towards the thrower and yells "let me take a long throw in". Other players can yell at the thrower to leave the ball for a long throw. The more convincing the shouting, the more the opponents will believe that you are going to take a long throw in. The receiver walks right up to the thrower and extends his hands while as
king for the ball, at this second he turns and sprints into the space and the thrower delivers the ball over the receivers shoulder and into the path of his run. The receiver then attacks the space with the ball and looks to
deliver a pass to one of the five options in the penalty area.
