Ex 3 – skill exercise 2 – diving and catching the ball
- 10 min
- 5v5
- Defending against shots
- Goalkeeping
Two players; two goals (or cone goals) 5–8 metres apart; balls. GK1 shoots the ball to the side of GK2, who dives and catches it. GK2 shoots the ball to the side of GK1, who dives and catches it, and so on. The shots are pre-determined. Alternative: For higher balls the goalkeepers can throw the ball to each other.
What the coach should look for
- Diving, lower balls: land on your side with your body behind the ball, meet the ball with both hands.
- Diving, higher balls: push off with the foot closest to the ball.
