Football: Jump and Catch - Two Shot Stopper

Love the site, it's a fantastic learning tool!

Ian

DESCRIPTION

The keeper jumps sideways over the three gates, and then moves quickly into the center of the goal ready to catch the first feeder's shot which is played high to stretch the keeper.

The keeper then plays the first ball back out and moves to meet the second ball which is played hard and low along the ground.

The keeper dives to stop this shot, rolls it back out again and then jogs back to the start - ready to repeat again.

COACHING POINTS

If you're unable to catch the ball knock it out - away from the danger area!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Run out, Back, Jump and Catch!:

This drill simulates recovering, running quickly back onto your line.

The keeper starts the drill by sprinting out to touch the penalty spot with their hand. Once they've touched the penalty spot they run backwards as quickly as then can to get back onto their line.

As soon as the keeper has taken a couple of steps back the feeder plays a lobbed ball to try and go over the keeper into the goal.

Goalkeeping

Dive and Recover:

Starting on the middle cone the keeper moves out to their right to catch the first feed.

After getting back to their feet and rolling the ball back out they side-step back towards the middle cone, ready to dive and catch the next rolled ball from the second feeder.

Goalkeeping

Reactions Test:

Can be used with one or more keepers simultaneously. Place a ball on either side of your keepers, within diving reach.

Your keepers should be stood in the middle of these two balls on their cones.

When the coach / player gives the signal (stretching a hand out to the left or the right) your keepers should react as quickly as possible and dive to catch the ball on that side.

Goalkeeping

In and Out Dive Slalom:

Set up a line of equally spaced poles. Keeper starts at the far end and moves quickly in and out between each of the poles in sequence - moving left and then right.

Once they move out (to the right) the feeder plays a mid-pace pass along the floor.

The keeper dives out to catch the ball and throws it back out before continuing to move between the poles and diving onto the next ball.
