How to Throw a Soccer Ball Sidearm:

For the goalkeeper who needs to get the ball to a teammate quickly, the sidearm throw is more accurate than kicking the ball, if the distance is not too great.

1. Cock the wrist of your throwing arm.

2. Turn your body and raise your nonthrowing arm to aim at your target.

3. Pull your throwing arm back and twist your waist as far as you can comfortably manage.

4. Take two or three steps forward.

5. Begin to unwind the ball horizontally before taking your last step.

6. Release the ball with your arm extended as you take your last step.

7. Follow through toward your target by continuing to swing your arm across your body.
