Coaching Points:
This practice is designed to improve the goalkeepers diving ability. Two goalkeepers are positioned in the penalty area. Goalkeepers stand facing each other approximately 5 yards apart and alternate passing the ball back and forth. After four or five passes, one goalkeeper opens his legs for the other goalkeeper to hit the ball through.
The pass through the legs should be firm and approximately 10 yards to 15 yards in distance. After the ball travels through the goalkeepers legs he must then chase after the ball and dive to secure possession. The second goalkeeper must trail the diving goalkeeper then resume play as quickly as possible. Goalkeepers alternate diving each time.
Work must be rapid while maintaining quality technique.
