Setup
The goalkeeper is in the goal. The goalkeeper coach (GC) is positioned 10 to 16 m in front of the goal. The balls are with the goalkeeper coach.
Procedure
The goalkeeper sprints to the 6-yard box line and comes to a stop there. Then the goalkeeper coach plays a volley or drop kick shot into the goalkeeper's catching range. Afterward, the goalkeeper returns to the goal line. 6-8 repetitions.
Tip
- Explosive sprint to the line. - Just before the GC strikes the ball, the goalkeeper makes a small two-footed hop or a short step forward, spreads the arms to the sides, slightly bends at the knees, and stands on the balls of the feet. The feet point toward the coach and are about hip-width apart; the upper body leans slightly forward and the eyes track the ball. - The body must always be brought behind the ball during the save. - During the save, the goalkeeper must never fall backward, always forward. - 1 full-size goal(s)
