Throw-In Attacking Routines | Build From the Sideline

Overview

• Teams that want to attack fast right off a throw-in
• Coaches looking to make their build-up from the sideline more reliable
• Players who need to read and decide quicker after a throw-in

Objectives

• Speed up that split-second decision the moment the ball comes in
• Give players a handful of attacking patterns off the sideline
• Time your runs together and leave defenders in the dust

Setup

This is a 6-player routine for building organized, connected attacks straight off a throw-in. The thrower and the receiver time it together, then read the play and pick from several options in an instant.

１）The thrower picks where the ball’s going and the receiver gets into position

２）Everyone confirms what the play is after and locks in a timing cue

３）On the thrower’s signal, the receiver and the players around them start their runs

４）The receiver takes the ball quick, reads the options, and keeps the play alive

５）Rep the whole pattern together as a group until it becomes automatic in a match
