Many thanks. This resource has helped me a lot, as a coach and as...

Lucy, USA

DESCRIPTION

This technique is used to stop low balls from further distances.

COACHING POINTS

When meeting the ball, the goalkeeper moves sideways down to the ball with one hand, arm and leg fully stretched.

The other hand reaches into the air for better balance while the other leg is bent like when jumping over a hurdle.

Goalkeeper Training - Fitness Work

During training, goalkeepers can often be forgotten and are given little technical work or coaching. This session focuses solely on the goalkeepers, working their fitness and giving technical pointers so that they?re ready to save the team when it comes to it!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Stopping High Balls:

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move forward to the other side. While doing so, they will act as if they have to stop high balls.

Aim for 8 "saves" during each run, and players should go up and down the half court twice.

Stand and Sit Catch:

Goalkeepers stand with a ball in front of them. They will throw the ball up high, quickly sit down, and catch it whilst sat.

When seated, players will again throw the ball high in the air but this time they will stand up quickly and catch it while stood. This continues in the same way.

Players should perform 2 sets of 10 catches.

2 series of 10 attempts.
