How to: Throw-ins/Long Throws

i was wondering on the technique involved in a long throw. i don't theink i've ever been properly taught. i hear it's more technique than strangth, but what's the technique?? put your arms into it? put your back into it? legs? what? HELP!

first, how old are you?

I would like to know as well. I have had one kid on my team who is well over 6 feet and strong and can throw it 30 yds and then I had a kid that was less than 5 ft tall and could throw it that far too. So I know it is all technique.
BTW, he is 19. It says on his profile.

Run up a little bit and put your normal plant foot down as you shoot and launch the ball from behind you neck high and as you do it launch your body weight towards your plantfoot. It's about weight not height.

I have the longest throw in my division i can throw it from the sideline nearly to the other side, most of the time i can hit the far side of the 18 yard box but have once hit the other sideline.

Slight exaggeration lol i can throw it to the far post. I was trying to start an argument.

Thanks for the advice. It sounds like it will work.

i played against a guy who did a front handspring throwin and could throw it from sideline to sideline. not only did was it far, but it had a lot of pace on it too.
