Offensive Throw-In Formatio - Throw-In from the Right Side

The exercise is practised on one half of the field toward one goal. Right midfielder H is placed at the sideline to take the throw-in. The balls are with him. The two forwards are positioned in the penalty area between the 6-yard box and the penalty spot at the same height. Right centre back C stands centrally and slightly set back between the two forwards. Left centre back B and right central midfielder G are placed at the level of the penalty area line, slightly to the left toward the arc of the penalty area. The left outside midfielder is placed in the central area behind the penalty area and player F between the two fullbacks A and D, who stand at the level of the halfway line. Player/Position legend: Base formation GK = Goalkeeper A = left fullback B = left centre back C = right centre back D = right fullback E = left outside midfielder F = left central midfielder G = right central midfielder H = right outside midfielder I = left forward J = right forward

As soon as H winds up for the throw-in, the players run to the positions indicated by the movement arrows. Forwards I and J cross. I runs toward the near post, J toward the far post. Player C runs toward the thrower H to flick on the throw-in. Centre back B runs to the middle of the 6-yard box and player G toward the far post. He also adjusts to player J, leaving him the space closer to the goal. Player E stays in the area behind and covers it or converts the throw-in with a direct volley or finishes any rebounds and layoffs from the penalty area. The two fullbacks A and D as well as midfielder F stay back and watch for counterattacks.nn
