Set Plays at Throw-In (attacking) (2)
A simple but effective move, much depending on the movement OFF the ball by the attacking players.
THE PRINCIPLE IS TO GET THE THROWER T IN POSSESSION OF THE BALL GOING FORWARD.
Practice (with T ready to throw-in)
(A1) marked by X2 darts quickly as if to move infield. But he checks quickly and moves back to a position (B) where he is free, as X2 cannot react as quickly.
T throws the ball at the head of (A1), who then heads the ball down the touchline for T to run on to.
To assist attacker (A2) comes close at first but as T is about to throw, he turns and sets off down the line, and X3 will follow – this then creates the space for (A1) to head the ball forward to meet T’s run.
Other attackers such as (A3) turn away also taking defenders with them.
