How to Do Quick Side Throw and Why It Matters in Football Training
Quick Side Throw is a fast dribbling move where the player pushes the ball sharply to the side to evade a defender or open a passing lane. The move relies on quick foot contact, tight ball control, and immediate acceleration. It’s ideal for breaking through tight defensive lines, creating space for a shot, or setting up a teammate in a better position.
