The mechanics of your throw can affect the outcome of a game.Proper form and consistent technique are what the best results can be achieved with.If you use the right stance and follow through with your body, you will have the best chance of getting the ball where you want it.
Step 1: Align yourself with the ball.
If you want to catch the ball, you'll need to move your body and line up your eyes so that you can see it.Keep your eyes focused on the ball and use a wide stance when catching.It is possible to keep one of your feet in front of the other.
Step 2: Pick up the ball with your hands.
As the ball moves through the air towards you, you need to grab it with your hands.If you tense your hands, it can cause pain from the impact.You should keep your hands wide-spread.Relax your fingers.Reach toward the ball.
Step 3: The ball needs to be grasped.
Depending on the speed at which the ball was thrown and the amount of spin on it, you might use either or both of your hands.If you want to throw a light throw, follow the ball with your eyes and watch it move into your hands.To get the ball in your hand, squeeze your fingers.While you learn how to better coordinate your catching, it may be easier to catch with two hands.
Step 4: The impact of the ball should be cushioned.
Cannon-throws and balls thrown at high speeds can hurt your hand.Allow your hand to follow the motion of the ball as you trap it with your fingers, as opposed to catching and stopping it immediately where you meet the hand.When catching, keep your knees bent and stance wide.The force of the ball's impact can be reduced by bending your arms.
Step 5: Stand ready to throw.
The outcome of your throw can be determined by how you stand.If you want to throw a normal sized ball, you should stand so that your feet are shoulder width apart.You are standing to your target.The farthest away from the target is your throwing arm.You face your target as you are turned at the waist.
Step 6: Put your arm in the air to throw the ball.
If you want your elbow to be the same height as your shoulder, hold the ball in your hand with your body in the proper stance.The L-shape is what your arm should form at this point.
Step 7: You can practice your wrist motion.
The motion of your throw should go smoothly.If you want to prevent yourself from making the mistake of locking up your wrist, hold the ball in your hand and then bend it backwards.The wrist should be snapped forward.Allow your elbow to relax.As you bend your arm, release the ball.
Step 8: You can add a windup to your throw.
A windup is where you reach farther back when throwing a ball when you step through with your leading foot.While keeping your elbow and shoulder at the same height, get in throwing stance and hold the ball in your hand straight up.While keeping the ball facing your target, reach slightly backwards.At the backmost part of your reach, raise your foot slightly.The weight should be shifted to your front foot.You can follow through with your arm and wrist.As your wrist snaps forward, release the ball at the frontmost part of your throw.
Step 9: You should meet the ball with your hands.
The greatest advantage a goalkeeper has in soccer is his ability to touch, catch, and punch the ball.By getting your hands to the ball as soon as possible, you can improve your chances of catching or punching it.Sometimes a foot block is necessary but not always.When possible, a goalie should use his hands to his advantage.
Step 10: The force of shots on the net should be absorbed through proper form.
Soccer players and coaches call this having soft hands.To cushion balls shot on net, a goalie must be able to engage his arms, legs, and back muscles.You stand a better chance of holding onto the ball if you absorb the force of it.When reaching for the ball, keep your elbow slightly bent.Be prepared to bend back at the waist for high kicks.To cut down on the shooting angles of the strikers, move forward toward the ball.
Step 11: The "W" catch can be used.
The style of catching is called a contour catch.It gets its name from the W shape a goalkeeper's hands should take when catching, with thumbs meeting behind the center of the ball and the hands slightly off to the side.Goalkeepers with smaller hands should keep their hands away from the ball by keeping their wrists close and thumbs parallel.
Step 12: When shots go high, catch the ball in the air.
When a ball is going to sail through the air at the net, it's a good idea to anticipate it by bending your knees, keeping your eyes open, and holding your hands open.If you want to catch a high shot on the net, you should jump to meet the ball at the highest point possible.Be careful not to hurt any players by raising your knee.
Step 13: Ground balls can be caught with proper body blocking.
It's possible to let a ball through your legs with ground balls.Getting your body behind the ball is one way to prevent a ball from past you.If there is a lot of spin that tears the ball loose from your grasp, it will hit your body and either be stopped or thrown away from the net.
Step 14: The ball should be guarded to prevent drops.
You can lose your grip on the ball, especially if you are holding it away from your body, if offensive members of the other team are charging in for a goal.If you hold the ball to your body with both arms and hands, you'll have a better chance of keeping hold of it.
Step 15: There are rules for throw-ins.
While playing a game of soccer, players are expected to follow strict rules regarding body position and throwing technique when throwing a ball out of bounds.The ball must be thrown from the point where it left the ground.You have to throw the ball with both hands.The ball needs to be thrown from behind the head.At the moment of release, the feet must be touching the ground.You may step on the field boundary line if you don't come in-bounds.The thrower cannot touch the ball until it touches another player.
Step 16: Pick a teammate you can throw the ball to.
Look for teammates who are in a strong position to receive the ball when you survey the field.Throwing the ball at a player who is not onside will result in a penalty.The players must be at least two meters away from the thrower.A quick throw in when your team is on the attack is ideal.If you don't have many options for where to throw the ball, a goalkeeper will have to play it with his feet.
Step 17: You should throw the ball while stationary.
To prevent yourself from lifting your foot while throwing, or from forgetting to reach the ball fully behind your head, you may want to make your normal throw stationary.Place your feet shoulder width apart to perform this throw.Hold the ball with both hands.To increase the power of your throw, point your elbow out.The throw is behind your head.You should follow through with your arms and body.Without losing ground contact with both feet, raise your heels to keep your balance.
Step 18: Take a running throw.
Many advanced players use this tactic.You can throw the ball farther if you run toward the throw-in point.This style of throw is prone to raised feet and can result in penalties.Take a few steps away from the boundary line of the field to take a running throw in soccer.The ball should be held with both hands.The ball should be behind your head.Go to the throw-in location.To come to a stop, plant your foot outside the sideline boundary.You should throw the ball when you stop.If you drag your foot, it will prevent fouls.
Step 19: The handspring throw is very difficult.
Due to their difficulty in executing, these kinds of throw-ins are rare.A handspring throw requires you to perform a forward flip while holding the soccer ball, throwing the ball when both of your feet touch the ground.It's important that you stay off the field so a penalty isn't called.Rain can cause you to slip and hurt yourself if you attempt this throw in slick conditions.
Step 20: Pick up the ball with your hands.
Bring your hands in front of you to form a diamond shape is the most reliable way to catch a football.Bring your hands in front of you.You should spread your hands wide.Touch the tips of your fingers and thumbs.
Step 21: You can use the window as a sight.
A diamond shaped window is formed by the space between your fingers and thumbs.Look through the window to make sure your hands are in line with the football.Those who are new to football will benefit from this technique.Catching a football involves keeping your eyes on the ball.Underhanded catches result in an inverted hand shape, where you position your fingers slightly downward and touch pinkie fingers together.
Step 22: Spread your hands wide and relax.
If you try to stop the ball with your hands it can cause injury or even pain.Allow your hands and elbows to follow the football's movement, easing it to a stop.The ball is easier to catch if you keep your fingers spread and your hands big.
Step 23: For aerial catches, use your entire arm.
If you raise your arms stiffly to catch a ball, it will result in a fumbled ball.When trying to catch a pass, keep your arms bent.The force of impact will be reduced and you will have a better chance of catching.
Step 24: You can keep possession by Tucking the ball to your chest.
Defenders will try and take the ball from you.Once you have caught the ball, you need to hold it between your body and arm to protect it.
Step 25: The ball should be griped in the way that is most comfortable for you.
The most natural way to hold a football is with a standard grip.If you want to feel two or three laces when throwing a football, you should grip the back half of the football.The ball should be held close to your chest.
Step 26: The lower body should be engaged.
You are prepared to throw at a moment's notice if you bend your knees slightly.If you want to follow through with a better throw, you should distribute your weight more towards your back leg.To create a balanced stance that is ready to throw, your feet should be shoulder width apart.
Step 27: Hold your arm with your fingers.
Your throw will begin when you pull the ball back high so that your elbow is a little above your shoulder and the bottom of it is in line with your ear.An air pocket can be found between your palm and ball if you hold the ball with your fingers.
Step 28: The throw should be initiated with a step.
If you put your body weight behind your throw, it will result in more power, and you can follow it with a step forward.Step towards the target with your leading leg.
Step 29: If you want to follow through, coordinate your body motion.
To begin rotating your hips, draw your hand down to your hip and away from your body.If you want your front foot to point straight ahead, square your shoulders and pivot.
Step 30: Follow through with your release.
A follow through motion in your throwing arm should have been caused by the motion of your left hand, hips, and shoulders.Come forward, rotating your arm with the motion of the throw.When the rotation of your arm causes your thumb to point downwards, release the ball.The ball should roll of your thumb and fingers.
Step 31: Continue throwing until the range is completed.
The motion of your release should continue after you have launched the ball.Follow it until your throwing hand reaches the area of your left pocket.
