Organization Mark out area approx. 35 x 40 yards. Squad is split into two teams, and each team is halved - one half on the field, the other in the zone. Goals only count if ball is chipped forward, then caught in the end zone without touching the ground. Goalkeeper on each outside line is available to team in possession, and can receive the pass, but must throw back to same team.
Keepers can throw ball to one another across the area to help create space for team in possession.
Coaching Points See the Coaching The Team manual for field players coaching points. Encourage goalkeepers to dance along their sidelines - always facing the play and always available. Encourage quick-thinking decisions by the keepers after receiving the ball. Alert and Alive, Hands, Open. While this practice has been designed principally for the field players, this is another example of a meaningful practice for all of the team.
