What it trains

An overarm release to the wing turns a claim into an attack in five touches, beating a first presser and then a second defender who sprints across to help.

Two things to watch

  • Keeper releases on the winger's front foot, at chest height, before the presser has left their line
  • Step forward through the throw and follow with the shoulder, so the ball arrives flat and does not hang
