Description

1/7/23


Aim 


To have the GK's dealing with ball from close in. Can they cut off the path of the ball? Are they getting into the right position? Are they moving fast enough? 


We can then move to them having to deal with a high ball and outfield players from different angles of play


A lot for them to make decisions on.

The coach will feed the ball down the wing and it is being chased by the winger, once he gets the ball into the 'red box' he will cross/pass the ball into the box


The attacking players are to try and get to the ball and score


The GK has a number of things to consider:

GK's positioning

Flight of ball

Movement of players

Where is the ball heading to

Who is not getting the ball

Who is possibly getting the ball

Players moving in

Danger areas

GK's ability & speed
