Throw-outs with soccer ball/medicine ball

  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players

Setup

The goalkeeper has the soccer balls and the medicine balls. The trainer stands opposite. The distance (between 10 and 50 meters) to the goalkeepers varies according to shot strength and age group.

Procedure

The goalkeeper throws the ball, alternating between a regular soccer ball and a medicine ball. He practices the throw-outs with his right arm as well as his left. The aim is to throw the balls to the trainer or to the fellow goalkeepers who are standing opposite him. He should regularly vary his position and distance.

Tip

Throw-outs with the medicine ball as a strengthening task for the arms.\n- When doing throw-outs the arm should be stretched out backwards like a javelin thrower and the ball should be placed on an open palm. The extended arm is then brought back into play and stays close to the ear. The Stem step is important here. If the goalkeeper throws to the right, the left leg moves diagonally forward. If he throws to the left, the right leg moves diagonally forward. Throwing techniques can be practiced against a safety fence and the throwing technique then included into training later. After the keeper catches a ball he then throws it into a previously placed goal. -Throw-outs with the ball should be trained at every age level. The use of a medicine ball should not be used before the age of 15.
