Analysis of a Line-out Throw
The main sport that I compete in is rugby. I have recently been moved to the position called HOOKER and it is my job to throw the ball into the line-out when my team win one. A line-out throw is the skill that I will be analysing. Throughout this text I will explain how to throw the perfect line-out and what muscles and bones help you achieve this.
The Lineout Throw
Accuracy: The lineout throw must be accurate in two planes. The ball must leave the throwers hands at the precise speed and angle of release to ensure that it meets the jumper's hands at his/her peak reach, more often than not with a trajectory such that it must clear opposition jumpers on the way. The ball must travel down the middle of the lineout regardless of the wind conditions.
