Warm Up (Distro) - Bump and Drop to Switch (5 mins)

Objective - increase HR/muscle temp while working support angles/distances

  • 1) GK moves forward on angle to receive and bump back to S1
  • 2) GK then drops to create depth
  • 3) Receive with positive prep touch, and switch to S2
  • 4) Repeat for other side
Coaching Points
  • Look to receive in space/on angle to give yourself more time
  • We must create depth to maximize our time on the ball
  • Positive prep touch into space that sets up next action

Handling Activation - T Box Handling w/Lat and Depth Footwork (5 mins)

Objective - Activate hands while working lateral and depth footwork (we are coaching depth)

  • 1) GK performs footwork forward through cones
  • 2) GK receives service in yellow box
  • 3) GK shuffles out the side of yellow box, steps fwd into white box
  • 4) GK receives service in white box
Coaching Points
  • Efficient, compact movement - small steps, always ready to set
  • BALANCE! Keep your feet under your hips/shoulder, don't stretch. Use bodyweight to counter change of direction.
  • Don't jump into set, step into it - one foot follows the other.
  • Reinforce good handling habits

Extension Activation - T Box Extension w/Lat and Depth Footwork (5 mins)

Objective - work depth footwork while preparing GK to go to ground

  • Progress the last exercise so that first service is scoop/forward dive and second is low extension
Coaching Points
  • Footwork - same as previous exercise
  • LOW SET - our keepers are not setting low enough at close range. Too upright, leads to getting down slowly/gaps for the ball to go under the body. Get your nose to the ball.
  • Good extension habits - full extension, low set, power step or negative step to generate force

Depth Footwork (Depth/Angled) - Fwd, Drop + Angled w/cutback and Angled Strike (25 mins)

Objective - Implement footwork used in activation to a game like scenario with a variety of required saves

  • 1) Drop set and central service (S1)
  • 2) Fwd step and central service (S1)
  • 3) Angled recovery to cutback position
  • 4) Cutback (S2)
  • 5) S2 pulls back to S3 for angled strike
Coaching Points
  • Choice of footwork (step/shuffle/cross) - depends on distance/time to set
  • Arrive early, set calmly
  • Balanced movements - keep feet under shoulders, be intentional about use of bodyweight
