Football: Fast Hands-Half Goal

Goalkeepers reactions need to be sharp when shots are coming from in close. Work on your keepers ability to get something behind the ball even when they might not know much about it

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

• 4 Goalkeepers working
• Server 1 opposite the goalkeeper and server 2 and server 3 to either side of the goalkeeper that is working.
• Server 1 volleys into the goalkeeper then server 2 gently throws the ball at head height to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper  then uses one hand to push the ball back to server 2.
• Server 1 volleys then goalkeeper gets a serve from the opposite side from server 3.

NOTE:

Start slowly and then increase the pace so the goalkeeper is working as fast as they can whilst still making sure of the catch from server 1.

• 4 Goalkeepers working
• 6yd x 6 yd Square
• 2 Goalkeepers have a ball each and serve to the goalkeeper opposite simultaneously, trying to get the balls to collide to create a deflection

NOTE: 

Start with goalkeepers rolling the balls as they are more likely to get the balls to collide.

Players sprint around discs to get into position. One is a goalkeeper and one is an outfield player who is to shoot.

Red player rolls a ball down between the discs when players have begun to run.

Swap lines after one repetition.
