Shot + Ball Throw to the Opposite Corner

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

Setup

The goalkeeper goes into the goal. One goalkeeper coach positions himself 10 metres away to the side of the goal, the other 11 metres centrally in front of the goal. The balls are with the goalkeeper coaches.

Procedure

The goalkeeper coach begins with a shot from an acute angle into the near (goalkeeper) corner. Immediately afterward, the other coach or alternatively a player throws the second ball into the opposite corner. The goalkeeper must first save the shot and then parry the thrown ball into the far corner.

Tip

- The shots should vary in power (soft/hard) and placement (low, half-high, high, at the body, beside the body). - The distance of the shooter to the goal should not exceed 10 m. - The goalkeeper must optimally narrow the shooting angle through his positioning. To do this, he stands 1-2 m in front of the goal line and has a distance of about an arm's length from the near post. - The goalkeeper tries to catch the balls securely. - If the ball is shot too hard or too precisely into the corners, it must be deflected to the side. - Just before the shot, the goalkeeper makes a small two-footed hop or a short step forward, spreads the arms to the sides, slightly bends the knees, and stands on the balls of the feet. The feet point toward the shooter and are about hip-width apart, the upper body leans slightly forward, and the eyes fix on the ball. - The goalkeeper must not fall backward during the save or open the goal by diving too early. - After the action in the near corner, he tries to get to the other corner of the goal as quickly as possible, with his gaze toward the goalkeeper coach. - The ball should be thrown so that the goalkeeper must jump backward-upward while running backward or dive sideways into the corner. - Perform the exercise from both sides. - 1 full-size goal(s)
