Warm up with some light calisthenics before you stretch.

Practice on level ground. Try to land on your feet as softly as you can to maintain control. Start slow and work to build up the speed of your front handspring.

Try practicing against a wall to hold yourself in the upright position. A flip throw utilizes many of the muscles that are involved in performing a handstand.

Keep your arms locked out at your elbows for added stability.

Consider wearing gloves to increase your grip on the ball.

In a match, take about 5 steps back from the sideline. If you’re practicing your flip throw, choose a fixed stopping point so you can get used to stopping at the sideline in a match.

If you start your flip throw from your forehead or in front of your head, the referee may call a penalty.

Arch your back slightly to make the flip forward easier.

Start slowly and build up your speed as you get more comfortable throwing the ball. Practice on level ground or on the soccer field.

A poorly performed flip throw could also result in an injury.

The power of a flip throw allows you to send the ball a greater distance than a standard throw-in.

Be sure to bring the ball back behind your head before you do your flip throw.
