Aim: To improve Goalkeeping techniques
Suitable for: U11’s and upwards
Equipment: Marked area, cones and balls
Organisation:
Play is set up using one goal, one GK, one server, one wide player and 10 balls. The aim of the drill is for the server to cross the ball from a wide area or corner in to the cones area around the 6yd box. The emphasis is on the GK’s decision making, anticipating the flight and speed of the ball to come and catch the ball at its highest point. When the GK has collected the ball they must move towards the edge of the box and throw the ball towards the wide play simulating a fast break attack.
