The crossers cross balls into the penalty area from differing distances, which the two strikers should meet after crossing their runs. The goalkeeper tries to either intercept the crosses directly or to fend off the strikers

Tip

1 full-court goal(s), - The goalkeeper stands facing the crosser.\nHe stands centrally 2-3 m in front of the goal.\n- Each time he has to predict, whether he can intercept the ball in the air, before the strikers arrive to the ball or whether he stays on his line and await the strikers
