Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Long Throw-In Routine

Create a chance from a long throw. Thrower: launch it flat and far to the near-post zone. Target: attack the ball with a hard run and head it down into the danger area. Runner: gamble on the knockdown and finish first time.

Setup & instructions

A thrower launches a long, flat throw into the near-post zone; a target man attacks it and heads it down or flicks it on, and runners crash the box to finish and gamble on second balls. Throw it flat and fast, not looped. The target starts three steps out and runs onto the ball. Rehearse it as a named routine and rotate roles.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Throw it flat and fast: a low trajectory is hard to judge and easy to attack
  • Aim the throw for the near-post zone or the penalty spot
  • Target attacks the ball with a hard run, never waits for it
  • Head it down into the danger area, or flick it on to the far post
  • Runners gamble on the knockdown and the second ball
  • Finish first time: it is chaos in there, so react fastest

Common mistakes

  • A looped, slow throw the keeper can claim
  • The target standing still and letting a defender step in front
  • Runners arriving too early, before the knockdown
  • No rehearsed roles, so the box is chaos with no end product

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Add defenders and a keeper commanding the box
  • Vary it: near-post flick on, or a knockdown to the edge for a striker
  • Add a second-phase shooter on the edge for the cleared ball

Regressions

  • Throw by hand at a gentler pace to groove the attack on the ball
  • Unopposed to rehearse the movement and the roles
  • Walk the routine and the runs before adding pace
