Goalkeepers should be encouraged to establish a stretching routine, which they can use immediately prior to practice and games. Many warm-up activities use the ball to assist in building up the momentum. Keeper rolls ball to side for shooting player to move onto and pass to the player at the front of the opposite file. The coach can later instruct the field players to aim the pass into the stomach of the goalkeeper. Obviously any misplaced pass will demand most of the goalkeeper - often a diving save.
Goalkeeper defends a triangular goal.
The keeper fields the ball and rolls it to another player on the outside of the circle for another shot. The previous shooter continues running to take the place of the next shooter, and so on. The keeper should attempt to change the point of the shot - and therefore the goal to be shot at each time. Soccer Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
