Throw-In Triangles

Set Pieces & Restarts · U11–U14

Obj: Throw-ins as possession restarts — the thrower's triangle installed: down-the-line, feet, and back options so the throw is a pass, not a punt (2.10's throw-in law). Field: Touchline zones, 25×20yd. Equip: Balls, cones, bibs. Org: Throw scenarios rotating: the triangle rehearsed (runner down the line, feet option checking to, safety behind the thrower), then live 4v3 from every throw. The "throw–set–return" pattern added: throw to feet, first-time set back to the thrower stepping in — the field's most-ignored free possession claimed. Retention percentage tracked (most teams lose 50%+ of throws; ours won't). CP: (1) Three options BEFORE the throw — the thrower scans like a passer; (2) throw to the receiving foot/chest matching their next action; (3) the thrower steps IN after throwing (he's a player again — most teams forget him). Prog: Defenders full-press the throw (E-11's touchline trigger from our side); zone-specific menus (defensive-third safety vs. attacking-third aggression). Reg: Unopposed patterns; bigger zones. Mist: P: the hopeful hurl down the line as default; C: never training throws (10+ per match, every match). Time: 12 min monthly. Out: Throw retention above 70%, tracked. Var: Long-throw identification (H-08's scouting starts here). Diag: Touchline throw with triangle options drawn, throw-set-return sequence numbered.

The 3-point rule: pick your three coaching points before the session and be ready to answer for them (Manual 5.4).
