Movement (1) (3 groups)

2 x large cones

1 large hurdle

balls

Aim

To start everyone off with moving in towards the ball as it is travelling towards them

Instructions

The GK will start on his line sitting down, facing forward and in-line with the ball. On command, the GK will rise to his feet and perform a 2 footed take-off & landing, as soon as he lands the coach will feed the ball in and the GK is to catch this without moving backwards, this is going to force the GK to stop and set immediately as he lands from his jump (x3)

Progression (p):

The coach will feed the ball off towards each side (x3) and the GK will dive forward in order to cut off the path of the ball and secure. (Both sides to be worked)

Ground & mid saves to be worked

Coaching Points:

The set position has to be forward - no use standing on the heels!!
All movements MUST be forward
The GK has to be reaching forward for the ball and then taking it into his body
The finishing position should have the GK's chest pointing towards the position of the striker

Coaches must ensure there is enough distance so that the GK has enough time to react to the ball and move forward

Aim

To have the GK making a variety of movements throughout the drill but accuracy is needed

The GK will rise from this shot and move over the goal to the 2nd marker where he will have to perform a 1-2 with him on the foot the ball is played to, from this, the GK will move over the goal again and once he has set, another shot is played. .... Repeat......

service: shots to any position but the angle is always going to change as the GK always sets on or near the marker {coach to ensure that he is in-line}

Progression: clipped shots and difficult pass backs can be used

Aim

For the GK's to continue to make forward movements but to remember to set properly even when under pressure

Instructions

The GK will start on his line and in the centre of the goal. On command, he will move over to his near post and deal with the ball played over the goal from c1.

As soon as this ball is away the GK will rise to his feet and move over his goal in order to set in order to deal with the shot from c2 (Initially the GK MUST be given time to move & SET prior to the shot coming in. Coaches must ensure that this is happening

service: (c1) across goal - ground & mid

(c2) shot to any position in the goal

progression / shooting drill: c2 does not have to give the GK the chance to set and there will also be a further shot from (p) just before the GK gets into position

Coaching points:

The GK is moving at speed and getting set as early as possible, weight has to be forward and positioning correct
Movements are positive and early eyes are on the next incoming ball and not looking at the ground
The GK is moving forward but is he aware of his goal position (in order that he does not move too far forward)
