Opening Game via Goalkeeper

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players

Setup

  • 1 goal
  • 3 dummies/cones

Procedure

  • The dummies/cones are set up as opponents about 15-20 meters from the goal line. Three players position themselves to receive the ball for the player opening. These players move into position. There are 2 variants that can be practiced:
  1. A player passes back to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper must then quickly decide which of the other two players the ball can be passed to in order to shift the play.
  2. A player takes a shot on goal. The goalkeeper must make a quick opening after catching the ball or retrieve it quickly from the goal. The exercise can be expanded so that while one player shoots, one of the other two takes a ball to finish afterwards. Then the goalkeeper must also decide which player does not have a ball to serve.

Tip

Coaching Point:

  • Players are constantly moving and offering themselves.
