Instructions


The GK starts in his goal and in line with the ball, the coach will take a series of shots and the GK is to gather the ball by always moving forward.

Aim


On this occasion, the ball is travelling through the air and the GK is going to have to make a push up into the air rather than along the ground


Instructions


The GK will start at the 1st marker and facing the ball. 


The coach will put the ball out of the reach of the GK and in the air (possibly thrown for accuracy), the GK is to push into the dive using his inside leg in order to give him the power to reach up to the ball, the GK should still be diving forward towards the ball and using correct diving technique.



Coaching points


  • The GK is bending down to give him the 'spring' needed to give him height


  • The GK is diving forward, going over his knee, arms outstretched and watching the ball into his hands


  • The GK is using his inside leg in order to give him a firm push into the dive (I doubt he would be able to use the outside leg)


  • The GK is securing the ball
