Tip
- 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. - 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. - 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. - 5 pole(s), 5 hurdle(s), 1 full-size goal(s)
