Game - Protect the Square (10 mins)

Objective - Prepare footwork and handling actions in a random and competitive scenario

  • GK works in a grid with a central box (forming 4 small goals)
  • Non-working GKs throw ball around the outside of the grid
  • Non-working GKs are trying to score by throwing ball through the central square
  • Working GK must use good footwork to protect each side of the square
Coaching Points
  • Small quick steps, always ready to set
  • Keep shoulders/chest square to the ball at all times
  • Good handling habits - watch ball in, stay over the ball, look to hold when we can

Coaching Points

Game - GK (American) Football (20 mins)

Objective - Practice fundamental handling/footwork techniques in a fun, competitive environment

  • Two equal teams work to score in other team's endzone
  • Players may not run with the ball, but may pivot on one foot
  • If ball hits ground, it is the other team's ball

Coaching Points

  • Try and let them play, while reinforcing proper choice of handling technique and footwork/body orientation
  • If players are not using correct techniques, stop them to remind, and reward good technique with extra points
