How To Do a Flip Throw in Soccer

Step 1

First of all you will need to learn how to do a front hand spring. This is the foundation of the throw, it will give you the muscle memory needed to perform the throw. It will also being to build your quad and bicep strength. To do so practice hard, at first start standing and see if you can go from standing to a hand stand and then from the hand stand to landing on your feet in a bridge. Try doing this over a week or two until you feel fully comfortable standing from the bridge

Step 2

Now perfect your hand spring, try running, going to your hands, and using your arms to push yourself forward back to your feet. If you have trouble and begin to hurt yourself have a friend help you by spotting. Have him push your back to help you land on your feet instead of your back.

Step 3

Now you'll need to add a ball into the mix, make sure its not slippery out so you can balance your self on the ball. Practice your hand stand on the ball, once you can balance on the ball with your hands try just the hand spring with the ball.

Step 4

Once you get that down you will need to being releasing the ball at the end of the hand spring, use the momentum from the hand spring to guide the ball to your target. Be sure to arch your back while standing up and snap your body forward and release the ball. Now all you have to do is practice your targeting, I found it helpful to practice on the sideline and trying to get the ball as close as I could to each goal post.
