Tip
- The goalkeeper always moves on the front of the foot/balls of the feet during the up-and-down jumps. He must learn to watch the ball until he has it under control. - During the diving save, the goalkeeper jumps sideways, slightly forward. - The ball is caught while falling forward. - The ground-near leg is bent or goes upward during the fall. - The goalkeeper falls with a swing step to the side. To the right by swinging through the right foot and pushing off sideways through the balls of the feet. To the left by swinging through the left foot. In this movement sequence, the hands and face point toward the shooter. As a basic rule, hold onto the ball; if this is not possible, deflect the ball to the far side of the goal. - During the diving save, do not curve the body backward but extend slightly forward. A backward curve would increase the shooting angle and thus the target area for the shooter, i.e., the goalkeeper would reduce his reach. - Dynamic, short, fast movements with short ground contact time. - 1 full-size goal(s)
