Blocking Intro (15 mins)

Blocking 1

Activation:

Introduce the correct Blocking/ Spreading technique first

Swap between tennis balls, mini balls, and full size balls

Organisation:

A. Three 1 yard 'mini goals' are created with the use of flat spots or

disc cones. The central goal is sqaure to the server and the two

outer goals are angled diagonallyto the side of the central goal.

B. The GK and server stand approximatelytwo feet apart and a ball

is placed on the ground, equidistant between the two.

1. The server randomly places a foot, left or right, on the ball

without moving the ball from its static, starting position.

2. The goalkeeper reacts by dropping and turning into the blocking

shape depending on the foot that the server places onto the ball.

Key Points:

1. Triggers - Depending on the foot with which the server makes contact with the ball, the goalkeeper will adopt the correct blocking

shape, turning left or right to form barrier between the ball and the goal.

2. GK decision to use and utilise all parts of the bodyto make save - hand/arm, leg/foot/, body

3. Bodyweight forward and head over ball as contact with the ball is made is made

4. Space between knee/heel and leg/arm must be minimal to prevent ball going through gap between both

5. Timing when dropping into shape

Technique- Defending the goal by using and utilising the whole body (15 mins)

Organisation:

4 mini goals are placed in a square approximately 12 yards apart.

Two servers place a supply of balls around the outside of the area.

The four goalkeepers stand in front of and defend one of the small goals each.

Practice Detail:

The two servers deliver the balls alternately

The servers can attempt to score in any one of the four goals

The goalkeepers attempt to protect the goal using and utilising all parts of the body

If a goalkeeper secures the ball upon saving then they can attempt to score against any one of the other three goalkeepers

Progression(s):

One of the servers moves into the centre of the area and the single server can still score into any of the four goals but they can also play into the centre server who can then attempt to score into any one of the four goals

Outcomes:

Set position on strike - triggers

Handling technique decisions

Diving technique decisions

Parrying/defecting

Lower body saves – blocking/spreading/foot saves

Agility

Mobility

Flexibility
