Tip
- At the starting position the torso is bent forwards.\n- The legs are bent (crouching position)\n- Whilst throwing the ball up, the weight goes slightly onto the balls of the feet.\n- After tossing the ball up the goalkeeper turns in an explosive yet smooth fashion with his torso to the side.\n- The turning movement originates through a turning in the hips.\n
