Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Goalie wars

Goalie wars

Instructions:

Emphasis: Shotstopping, distribution Set up:

Place two regulation size goals, facing each other, 18 yards apart. Lay down a cone line down the middle of the two goals. The playing area should be the size of the penalty box (18x44yards). A goal keeper is in each goal with a supply of balls just inside the goal mouth.

Objective: The goalkeepers must try to score on the opponent by a throw, volley, half-volley,or from the ground. The goalkeepers cannot cross the halfway line to retrieve are bound but may recover are bound on their own side. If an attempt is held, he / she must distribute from the spot the save was made. If the attempt goes in the net or over the net, the goalkeeper has three steps from his / her goal line to distribute. The first goalkeeper to five wins the game.

Progression:

1.Add two goalkeepers and play 2 v 2. First team to three points wins.

2.Must throw with the weaker arm and kick with the weaker leg.
