Coaching Points:
This practice is designed to improve the goalkeepers catching ability. One goalkeeper is placed in the goal. Two serving goalkeepers with a ball each are positioned on the six-yard line approximately 5 yards apart.
The receiving goalkeeper starts by facing one of the servers. The server delivers an under-handed throw for the goalkeeper to catch. After catching the ball, the goalkeeper returns the ball to the server, side steps quickly to the next server and repeats action. This sequence is continued for approximately 20 serves, then goalkeeper changes roles with one of the servers. Repeat until all goalkeepers are worked sufficiently.
Work must be rapid while maintaining quality technique.
