Hurdle run + shot on goal

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players

Setup

Set up a row of mini hurdles in front of the goal. The goalkeeper is in the goal; the goalkeeper coach stands with balls approximately 10 m in front of the cones.

Procedure

The goalkeeper runs over the hurdles using high knees/skipping. Then the goalkeeper coach plays a volley or drop kick shot into the goalkeeper's catching range. 4-5 repetitions, then the goalkeeper runs over the hurdles using lateral high knees/skipping, with the coach now placing shots slightly to the right or left.

Tip

- Fast and clean technique over the hurdles. - Skipping: short, quick movements on the balls of the feet (not on the entire foot). The heels must not touch the ground; legs/arms are bent and swing in the natural opposing running motion (right arm/left foot). The upper body leans forward. Short ground contact time, maximum speed. - High knees: The right leg is raised to the maximum angle position. The left (bent) arm also moves upward. The left leg is nearly straight. The player stands on the ball of the foot. When the right ball of the foot touches the ground, the same movement follows with the left. The upper body is upright. Short ground contact time, maximum speed. - As soon as the goalkeeper passes the last hurdle, the coach's shot comes. - Just before the coach 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. - Lateral offset jumps (skier jump/movement): With a slightly forward-leaning upper body, the player jumps sideways forward alternating between the right and left leg (right leg to the front right, left leg to the front left). It is important that the takeoff and landing are on the balls of the feet. The arms swing supportively. When the plant foot lands, the other leg is bent (no ground contact). The gaze is directed forward. - 6 ring(s), 6 hurdle(s), 1 full-size goal(s)
