Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Keeper warm up no 1

Screen 1

Method:Server calls a number for the keeper to move to from the centre of the square using short quick steps, maintaining control over balance and direction of movement.Once the keeper touches the cone they must move to the front of the square to receive a volley from the server and return to the centre of the square before the next call is made. After 6 services, the server now calls 2 numbers and the keeper must touch the called cones in the correct sequence, cognitive element now involved. Further progression follows with 1 cone call for the keeper to get up from a seated position , 6 serves, to finally finish with 6 serves with keeper starting on their stomach.

Coaching Points: Good set position from keeper, on balls of feet, feet shoulder width apart creating stable body, nose over toes, body weight forward and can see the back of their hands in their set( ready ) position
