Focus
Throw-in Set Plays.
Skills
Preliminary Moves & Passing.
Purpose
When it's your throw-in in the defensive third, there are specific set plays you can run, depending on where the ball went out of court. As a rule, the [GK] will take throws closer to the baseline, while a designated player such as [WD or GA] can throw when closer to transverse line. This particular strategy is used when the ball goes out near the baseline on [WD]'s side of the court.
