Emphasis:
Cover most technical areas of goalkeeping
Set-up:
Place two regular sized goals (8 yards wide) and 10 yards apart from each other.
Put half your goalkeepers behind one goal, and the remaining behind the other goal.
Make sure you have plenty of extra balls handy for use.
Objective:
The first goalkeeper in line, distributes the ball to the first goalkeeper in the other line. After the goalkeeper distributes the ball, he/she follows the pass and gets in the back of the other line. The first sequence is two touch passing, and then change it to one touch passing back and forth. Follow the progression listed below. Repeat this pattern until each goalkeeper has performed many repetitions.
Progressions:
- Rolling low ball pick up.
- Under hand throws to the belly button.
- Over hand throws to the face.
- High ball served directly in the middle of the box.
- Low dives.
- Collapse dives.
- Extension dives.
Coaching Points:
- Technique, technique, technique.
