• Hold the ball with both hands, ensure that the index fingers and thumbs are as close as possible (almost forming a "W" or "u" shape with fingers on the ball).
• Bring the ball over the head just behind the ears with your arms loose and elbows bent and flared out.
• Stand with your feet a little than shoulder-width apart with one foot in front of the other (start at a standstill first, then add 1 step, then 2, and so on).
• Face your target (where you want the ball to go)
• a short run may provide more power to the throw
• Bring your head, neck, shoulders and trunk back, bending at the knees
• Thrust the ball forward resulting in your entire body going forward.
• Release the ball as it just goes past the head
• drag your back foot as you follow through to maintain momentum while keeping your feet on the ground
• do not twist while throwing the ball (must use both hands equally)
• when receiving a throw-in you should be running or jogging to get open and head down field towards the opposition's goal.
