Soccer: Two Goal Recovery

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

DESCRIPTION

  • Two GKs working in 2 seperate goals at 90 degrees to each other.
  • Two servers in central positions and two servers in wide positions.
  • GKs begin facing the post and both turn in from the post at same time and then deal with a shot.
  • GK1 and GK2 then cross over and get a shot from opposite server in wide positions.

COACHING POINTS

  • The focus is on the speed of movement between the 2 positions and drive to recover.
  • Both GKs need to pick a direct route but make sure they avoid eachother when crossing over. This can replicate a busy penalty area.
  • Correct timing of dive to get some part of the body in line. GKs should not dive to early. It should be a reaction save to the second shot.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Turning in - Recovery:

  • GK starts on the post facing the sidelines.
  • Server 1 starts approaching the ball and GK gets into line with the server.
  • Server strikes the ball towards the goal.
  • GK then repeats this from the opposite post.
  • GK always starts out of position and gets into line with the ball and the serve is initially around the GK's Body.

Calling Turns:

Players carry out the commands from the coach. The commands are as follows:

Goalkeeping
Catching Slalom | Goalkeeping

Catching Slalom:

Working in twos, with one ball, the keeper must catch the feed into their stomach, throw it back and then backtrack around each pole.

After they've run around the pole, taking small and speedy steps they move out ready to take the next feed.

Goalkeeping
Kabadi | Passing and Receiving

Kabadi:

2 teams. Each team has their own area in which they keep possession by passing the ball around.

The other team can send one player across to try and win the ball for their side. If they manage to win possession the roles reverse and the other team passes the ball inside their own area.

The winning team is the first team to put 10 passes together without losing the ball.
