  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players

Setup

A goalkeeper positions themselves centrally, approximately 5-7 m in front of the goal. The goalkeeper coach (GC) stands approximately 35 m from the goal on the left sideline; another GC or another goalkeeper stands at the same distance on the right sideline.

Procedure

The GC plays a back pass to the goalkeeper (1). The goalkeeper should control the ball with the first touch and play a diagonal pass to the second goalkeeper/GC with the second touch. That player passes the ball back to the GC. Alternative: The GC plays a high lofted ball toward the goal. The goalkeeper catches the ball and throws it diagonally to their goalkeeper colleague. Each 8-10 repetitions

Tip

- Constantly demand accuracy and speed (slow execution will not lead to game-realistic success in the long run). - The plant foot should be placed 30-40 cm to the side of and level with the ball. - Using the example of receiving and carrying the ball with the right inside of the foot, the movement looks like this: the player must take the ball with the inside of the foot at the moment it touches the ground. The leg swings from right to left toward the ball. The foot is guided slightly from top to bottom toward the ball (similar to the foot movement when shooting, just with less backswing), preventing the ball from bouncing up. The body weight rests entirely on the left plant foot; the upper body rotates at the hip to the right (right shoulder turns backward). The eyes are on the ball, which also brings the upper body slightly over the ball. - When receiving and carrying the ball with the outside of the foot, the ankle opens inward. The lower leg is also angled inward at the knee, so the foot movement can go from top to bottom and left to right toward the ball. The contact surface is the entire outer side of the foot. - The preferred passing technique for long (lofted) passes is the driven inside-of-the-foot pass: The ball is struck partly with the inside of the foot and partly with the instep. The plant foot is positioned beside the ball, and the player's upper body goes into a leaning position. The toes point downward, similar to the foot position for the instep strike. This passing technique has the advantage that the balls travel at high speed with a low trajectory, making it a fast and easy-to-control passing option for the receiver. - For the side-arm throw, the arm is stretched backward like a javelin thrower's, and the ball is placed on the open palm. The extended arm is then brought forward under tension, passing close to the ear. The brace step is important here. If the goalkeeper throws with the right arm, the left leg is positioned forward and offset. If throwing with the left, the right leg is forward and offset. - 1 full-size goal(s)
