Lesson Plan: Saving Variations of Shots from Distance

Saving Variations of Shots from Distance

Improve the goalkeeper dealing with shots from distance and at an angle. Using a combination of volleys, low shots and up high strikes replicate the variations of shots keepers might receive.
OFTEN USED WITH...
Volley, Low Dive, Long Shot Combination | Goalkeeping

Volley, Low Dive, Long Shot Combination:

  • Server 1 vollies into hands of the GK.
  • Then into a low dive save from a central position from Server 2.
  • Followed up by a final shot from distance at an angle from Server 3.

Goalkeeping
3 vs 1 Keep ball | Possession

3 vs 1 Keep ball:

Straight forward passing and moving drill with only two touches on the ball.

The blue players off the ball can only receive the ball at one of the four cones in each corner of the area and the red player is trying to intercept the ball.

Possession
Working Across the Goal - Recovery | Goalkeeping

Working Across the Goal - Recovery:

  • Have a central line of cones coming out from halfway accross the goal. Two wide Servers.
  • Server 1 strikes the ball into the GK. GK then recovers and makes save from Server 2
  • Server 2 can only serve once the GK passes the middle line to prevent them just shooting into an empty net.

 

Goalkeeping
Chest control, spin and pass | Passing and Receiving

Chest control, spin and pass:

Player 1 hand feeds the ball to player 2 at chest height. Player 2 then must control using their chest and thigh so that they can turn and play an instep volley into player 3's hands.
