Hitting A Moving Target

[email protected]

Emphasis:
Accuracy with the in-step

Set-up:
Two goalkeepers face each other twenty yards apart.
This distance has to be close enough to focus on the technique of the strike.

Objective:

The two goalkeepers drive the ball back and forth with as much accuracy as possible.  Goalkeeper A drives the ball to goalkeeper B who acts as a moving target.  Goalkeeper B can move anywhere he/she pleases.

Progressions:

  1. Lengthen the distance between the cones to 30 yards.
  2. Limit the touches to 2.

Coaching Points:

  • Look up and find your target before you strike the ball.
  • Must have a good first touch out at a 45 degree angle.
  • Goalkeeper B must call for the ball.
