Diving Break Aways

.
 

Coaching Points:
This practice is designed to improve the goalkeepers diving ability with and emphasis on 1 v 1 breakaways.  One goalkeeper is placed in goal and a second goalkeeper who acts as an attacking player is positioned on the top of the penalty area.

The server plays a pass midway between the goalkeeper and the attacker.

The goalkeeper must come out quickly from the goal and dive to stop the breakaway. The attacker performs a passive role at first, then progresses to eventually trying to win the ball and score. Alternate the goalkeepers on each attempt.   

Work must be rapid while maintaining quality technique.
