Goal Keeping
Footwork and agility [18 Jun @ 11:00pm]
Download (pdf): 61 KBFootwork and agility Aim - To improve goalkeepers' footwork and agility and to get them used to diving. Key Points 1. Quick, sharp footwork around the cones. 2. Get body behind the ball so if they do spill the ball with their hands it will be stopped by their body. 3. Ensure that the players passing the ball are accurate and not passing the ball too soft or too hard.
Diving and decision making [18 Jun @ 11:00pm]
Aim - To improve goalkeepers' diving and ability to save the ball. To test the goalkeeper's decision making skills. Do I parry the ball or do I hold onto it? 1. Goalkeeper must take an attacking step towards the ball. 2. Hands to ball first in side contour position. 3. Always dive forwards and not back
Dealing with cut backs from the dead ball line [18 Jun @ 11:00pm]
Aim - To improve goalkeepers' ability to position themselves correctly from cut backs and to save from close range. 1. When the goalkeeper shuffles across goal make sure he/she takes small, quick steps to stay in contact with the ground, this will enable them to change direction quickly and at will. 2. Ensure that the goalkeeper does not come too far across goal as this will leave the corner they came from exposed. 3. Get in the set position ready to save. 4. Prepare the goalkeeper to improvise as he/she will have to react quickly and may have to save with their feet as well as their hands.
Unsighted saves [18 Jun @ 11:00pm]
Aim - To improve goalkeepers' ability in dealing with shots that are unsighted and to improve reaction time. 1. Do not let the goalkeeper compromise his/her set position. Ensure that if they cannot see the ball that they move their heads to compensate and not their set position. 2. If they cannot hold onto the shot then make sure they push the ball away from goal so that the rebound is not easy to score.
Diving saves and agility [19 Jun @ 9:57am]
Aim - To improve goalkeepers' technique when diving and saving the ball and to improve footwork and agility. 1. Ensure that the goalkeeper gets both hands behind the ball when saving. One behind and one on top of the ball to prevent any spillages. Most keepers will only use one hand when diving to the side. 2. Ensure clean and efficient footwork through the cones with the head always up
Improving fitness and leg strength [18 Jun @ 11:00pm]
Aim - To improve goalkeepers' fitness and leg strength as well as their saving and handling skills. 1. Always face the front, never turn your back on the play. 2. Speed between the cones to ensure the goalkeeper is getting the most out of the drill. 3. As the keeper dives, ensure he/she is falling onto their shoulder and not on their elbow
Agility and shot stopping [18 Jun @ 11:00pm]
Aim - To improve goalkeepers' footwork, agility and conditioning and to develop their handling and saving techniques. 1. Clean and quick footwork around the cone. 2. When diving, always fall onto the shoulder and not on the elbow.
Positioning and angles [18 Jun @ 11:00pm]
Aim - To improve goalkeepers' awareness of their positioning and angles when dealing with shots from in and around the area. 1. Use the line to see how far the goalkeeper can come out to shut the angle of the shot down. 2. Ensure the keeper is always in line with the centre of the goal and the ball.
