If there are no opponents between the goalkeeper and the teammate, the throw should be kept low and skipped along the ground so that it travels faster and is easier for the teammate to receive.

The keeper's throwing arm should be kept straight, and be directed over the top rather than from the side. Goalies should practice this technique often as it's a very important skill, and always make sure to warm up their shoulders beforehand.
