DESCRIPTION

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

COACHING POINTS

  • Is it appropriate to use top hand? Is the amount of steps correct to allow full coverage?
  • Coach must show the goalkeeper the correct way to land the dive safely
  • Younger players may have difficulty hitting the top corner, therefore the coach could do the service or the ball can be thrown. Alternatively, have a server holding a stationary ball for the goalkeeper to get used to the technique

PROGRESSION

  • Server 2 plays the ball along ground and then progresses to get the goalkeeper into top hand save.
