Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Shot stopping

Shot stopping warm up and activation

Goalkeepers will perform four dives to start the shooting sequence. After fourth dive, keeper will perform a hop over hurdles and another hop to return to his side. After jump, keeper will receive a low shot from station 1, which the keeper will perform a low scoop catch then roll back to station 1. After shot 1, keeper will receive a throw from station 2 which the keeper will have to catch and then throw back to station 2. 

Keepers will rotate from A-D in sequence.

Shot Stopping game

This game can be multiplied across the field depending on attendance. 

Each square will be about 20-25yds, with 4-5 keepers.

Keepers will be passing the ball while keeping it in the square with any means necessary, one keeper will be designated to prevent his four cones from being tipped over or hit with the ball, he will be the shot stopper.

Other keepers must move and communicate efficiently to try and score on designated keeper.

If non designated keeper uses his hands to posses the ball, he can distribute or try to hit the cones but he will NOT be able to move until he releases the ball. 

Keeper that scores gets to decide if he goes in as designated keeper or keep the current designated keeper.

If designated keeper intercepts the ball, he gets to decide to stay in as designated keeper or switch with the last person who touched the ball.
