 Older Group:

On GKC's signal, both players will race towards the ball. One GK will smother the ball and other GK will act as a striker and jump over or around GK that is smothering to put them in a game like situation. 

Progression: GK's will then alternate roles. 

Younger Group: 

GKC will assign a side a number, color, cue, etc. The GK coach will call out a cue, that player assigned to that cue will approach the ball and perform a 5-point block. The other player will approach and raise their foot as if they were going to shoot.

1v1, BOD (10 mins)

Set up shown above:

GK will play the ball to the rebounder, the rebounder will deflect the ball into the space in and around the GK. The GK will then access the flight of the ball to decide to stay or to go. In this case the GK will go because there is no immediate threat yet. Once the GK collects the ball the repetition is done.

Progression 1:

Same as the previous, but in this instance the GK must decide whether to stay or go. The other GK next to the rebounder will press the ball that is being played. The GK will have until the markers to shoot. It is important that the GK shooting does not pass the marker. 

Progression 2:

Same as the previous, just adding the GKC having a shot after the rebounded ball is collected and given back to the server.

Progression 3:

Same as the previous, Now distributing to an open player after the GKC's shot

Optional progression for the older group:

Have another GKC or player perform a cutback pass after the GKC's shot and having the server, and runner press the GK. * If the pass back is far enough then remind the GK when to stay and when to go*
