- 1). Practice the motion. Have children first do a throw-in without the soccer ball.
- 2). Do it in stages. Have the child go through the motion, at first without throwing the ball. After perfecting the motion, do the full throw-in.
- 3). Follow the rules. The ball must be thrown from over the head with both hands, and released immediately after passing the front of the head. Both feet must always be in contact with the ground.
- 4). Make sure the ball is as far as possible behind the head.
- 5). Scan the field while collecting the ball.
- 6). Pretend to look for an open teammate.
- 7). Throw the ball quickly. Practice keeping the opposition off balance.
- 8). Throw the ball down the line (parallel to and close to the sideline). This results in the greatest territorial gain.
- 9). Make sure the throw-in is easy for a teammate to control.

Work on tactics with technique, such as throwing the ball to one player before throwing to another.
