Quick Throw-In — Switch the Point
A throw-in restart practice focused on speed of thought rather than a fixed pattern. Players recognise the nearest safe option, bounce the ball inside and switch quickly to the opposite side while the defence is still shifting.

Organization
Create a 30x24m area with touchlines and two teams. Start each repetition with a throw-in on one side. The attacking team has five seconds to restart and aims to connect through a central player before transferring the ball to a target on the far side.
Coaching Points
Retrieve and restart quickly | First receiver checks away then shows | Support underneath the ball | Central player scans before receiving | Switch with the fewest useful passes
Progressions
- Make the defenders fully live and award two points if the far-side target is reached within eight seconds.
Regressions
- Use passive defenders and allow the first receiver unlimited touches.
