Soccer: Catch Place Recover

What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...
Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

  • GK advances and receives a volley into hands from Server 1.
  • GK then places this ball in a wide positioned cone with nearest hand and then receives a shot from Server 2.
  • Meanwhile Server 1 makes their way round to inital ball that has been placed and shoots for a third shot.
  • Can put attackers in position of server 1 to practice volleying and finishing on the angle.

COACHING POINTS

  • GK to make the catch if possible and not just parry.
  • GK may need to use a blocking technique for third shot.
  • GK to try and stay as big as possible and not collapse or dive backards even on recovery dive.
