Emphasis:
Attacking the ball, aggression, timing, competitiveness
Set-up:
Have two goalkeepers start in the goal mouth.
Place a server at each corner flag with a group of balls.
Objective:
The server strikes a cross into the goal mouth. Both goalkeepers compete for the same ball. Whoever catches the ball in the air gets 2 points. If the ball drops to the ground, the goalkeeper who gains possession gets 1 point. Alternate sides and the goalkeeper who reaches 10 points wins the game.
Progressions:
- Move the server into the junction of the penalty box and the end line.
- The goalkeepers must start on their stomachs, backs, sitting….
Coaching Points:
- Attack the ball and catch it at the highest possible catching point.
- Drive your knee up to protect yourself from the other goalkeeper.
- Decide early and arrive on time.
