Goalkeeper Shot Saving

Goalkeeper Shot Saving

• Warm Up
• - Field players move in pairs with a ball and
  pass with instep to each other while keepers move
  and strike balls to each other. (Intersperse each
  part of the warm up with Dynamic Stretches).
• - Keepers play in a goal each 50 yards apart
  (Diagram A). Field players (still in pairs) pass
  and move in area until GK calls them -- then they
  must make a move and shoot from their area of the
  field (demand that shot on target--or else they
  chase).
• Vary by shooter moving around lateral target
  cones.
• - Now, when called to, the field player must pass
  to partner and they attempt to shoot quickly
  (1/2touch)

Pts. Look for GK starting stance (balance, hand
position, feet parallel, etc), GK adjustment to
shooters movement and passing, anddiving form (
forward, lead arm, etc.)

Small Sided Activity-3 v3 (-1) in same area as
warm up FPs are on for 1-2 min. sets or can sub
on own when ball is out . Players must chase
missed shots and their team plays short (creates
3v2s, etc.)- Could vary adding 1 or 2 "Jokers"
