Exercise Objectives:
This practice will
improve the
goalkeepers
footwork.
Field Preparation:
Goalkeepers
Small Area
Supply of Balls
Coaching Pointers:
Goalkeepers work in
pairs, using one
ball each. Keepers
are positioned
facing each other
approximately
2 yards apart and a
little to the side.
The keepers work as
team mates and serve
the ball to each
other
simultaneously. The
idea is to serve the
ball just to the
side of their team
mate and their
partner has to
shuffle their feet
quickly to get
behind the flight of
the ball and catch
it.
Emphasis is on quick
footwork. The
keepers should not
cross their legs
when shuffling side
to side.
The tempo should be
high. Change partner
after short
interval.
