Defending at a throw-in (3)

Points to Note

• Clearly all attacking players should be marked at a throw-in
• Defenders should keep their concentration at all times, always being ready for any sudden movement or switch by attackers
• As soon as the ball goes out of play all defenders should react quickly to start marking up as a unit
• All attackers should not be allowed to control the ball and turn after receiving a throw-in. Defenders should mark tight, not allowing the attackers any leeway.

Small Sided Games (e.g. 5-aside played on an area 25 metres square) should be used by the coach for practice at throw-ins.

Every time the ball goes out of play all defenders should make a habit of quick reaction, total concentration, and spotting danger from the resulting throw-in.

• Coaches should ensure that attackers try to take quick throw-ins to sustain the practice.
