Setup
Every goalkeeper has a ball.
Procedure
The goalkeeper circles the ball round his hips. He starts clockwise with his right hand (1). When he guides the ball past his hip he moves his pelvis to the left. The change of hands occurs behind his back. The ball is given to the left hand and the hips pushed forwards. Then the ball is again in line with the hips, the pelvis is pushed to the right. The change from left to right hand occurs in front of the body. Here the pelvis is pushed backwards. The drill then continues. Finally change the direction of movement anticlockwise (2). Course of movements: (1) Clockwise circling of the ball around the hips. (2) Anti-clockwise circling of the ball around the hips.
Tip
