Dealing with Crosses and Communication (30 mins)

Dealing with Crosses and Communication

Shot 1: Ball will be thrown somewhere close to one of the 3 players inside the 6 yard box. Keeper will communicate "Keeper" and decided whether to punch or collect.

Shot 2: Ball will be a cross from the ground into the area with the 3 players. Keeper will communicate "Keeper" and decide whether to punch or collect. If the ball is too far away keeper will communicate "Away".

Shot 3: If ball is collected keeper will throw it out to the opposite side cone 3 outside the box for a touch and shot. If the keeper punches or ball is away, opposite side cone 3 will just touch and shoot. 

Key Takeaways: Loud communication. proper handling decision making (whether to punch or catch), positioning for crosses, and ball line work.
