The Throw -In:  is executed when the ball has gone out of play crossing over one of the touchlines on either side. The player must throw the ball back into play, by delivering the ball from behind and over the head in one continuos motion. There are several steps to executing a good throw-in.

    1)  The player must use both arms equally.

    2)  Both feet must be kept on the ground when the throw is made.  One foot should be slightly in front of the other.

    3)  Players that are more advanced can take a short run, to throw the ball harder.

    4)  The player should hold the ball over his head, leaning backwards at the waist, and quickly swing the ball over his head.

    5)  The player should aim at an unmarked teammate's feet.

    6)  The player should throw the ball down field if all his teammates are covered.
