What colour?!? (20 mins)

What colour

AIm

To get the GK's thinking of where they need to be and how they are going to make a save.

This is putting their head under additional pressure with decisions to make prior to any shot being made.

Instructions

The GK will start in the centre of his goal and facing out. He will be given 2 colours, the 1st one he has to touch with his foot and the 2nd is where the shot will be taken from.

The GK is required to make his movement and set with a forward position for a delayed shot on goal (to ensure the GK has a good set position)

(All Rebounds are live)

Progression

The 2nd colour will be changed to a type of shot

yellow = scoop save

blue = right dive

red = left dive

(The colours can also be moved around!!) - The initial instruction will be red, scoop (red, red)

Coaching points

Quick movements into position
Forward set position
Correct decisions are made 1st time

Aim

To have the GK making saves under the stress of fatigue

Instructions

The GK will start in the centre of his goal facing out.

On command, she will move and touch a coloured marker with her foot, she will then move to be in line with ball 1 and receive the shot. (ensure that the shot is not taken early and the GK is given the correct time to set)

The GK will then rise, move back to touch the same marker and then get in-line for ball 2,3,4,5,6

Progression

All balls will be moved to the centre and then the left.

Coaching points

Quick movements are needed together with a desire to get into an early position

Straight into their new position with early eyes on the next ball.

Aim

To have the GK's working together and communicating in order to secure a save

Instructions

1 goal / 2 GK's

3/4 outfielders (who are not allowed into the 'D' but the ball can pass through it)

The outfielders have 1 minute to score as many goals as possible (only 1 ball can be in play at any one time)

The 2 GK's have to decide if they are full goal / zonal / defence GK etc - can they take anything from this to organise their defence depending on how a game is going?

THE GK's HAVE TO REMAIN 1 METRE APART AT ALL TIMES - communication !!!!

Coaching points

Communication prior to and during the exercise
Quick movements and reaction times to the new moving ball, do they have to cover a full goal?
Watching the outfielders for movement changes and speaking to each other
