Throw-In Attack (Sideline Play)

Instructions

1. 1LB pushes forward while PV advances toward goal as T prepares the throw-in
2. 2T inbounds the ball to CB at the central position
3. 3CB immediately distributes to LB who has moved into a forward position
4. 4LB feeds the ball to PV at the high pivot position while RB drives forward on the right
5. 5PV delivers a quick pass to RB cutting toward the lower goal line
6. 6RB finishes with a jump shot on goal before the defense can organize

Coaching Points

• Thrower inbounds quickly before the defense is set — speed is the primary weapon
• CB must be available the instant the throw-in is called — do not drift
• LB and PV move simultaneously to create two passing options immediately
• Every player must know the sequence in advance — no mid-play communication needed
• RB shoots the instant the goal-line position is available — delay loses the disorganization advantage

Common Mistakes

• The throw-in is taken too slowly, allowing the defense to set up
• Players cluster near the thrower instead of spreading to create passing angles
• The first pass after the throw-in goes backward instead of forward toward the goal
• Off-ball players do not make timed runs, standing and waiting for the ball
• The throw-in play is the same every time, making it easy for the defense to anticipate
