Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Training - IdeaSport - Diving - 2001/2002 - 10/23/2019 (Start Time: 2019-10-23 16:20:00)

Exercise 1

1 hurdle, 1 server

GK starts behind the hurdle, then jumps over and sets in front of S1.

Once GK sets, S1 will pass a ball to GK's right, GK makes the collapse dive save then reloads to his feet again, sets, then S1 passes the 2nd ball to the GK's left for another collapse dive save.

Coaching Points To Consider:

Is the GK in a good set position prior to the ball(s) being played?

Is he taking a step?

Is he attacking the ball, leading with his hands?

Exercise 3

4 flat cones, 1-2 mannequins, 1 goal, 3 servers

GK will pivot into a set position in the middle of the two flat cones, S1 will volley the ball to GK's hands.

After the catch the GK will make a diving save to his left side from S2.

S2 after kicking the ball will move over to the stationary ball to his left.

Once the GK has reloaded to his feet, S2 will pass that ball through to S3, GK will adjust his position on the angle.

S3 will look to have a 1st time shot on GK's goal.

Coaching Points To Consider:

When making the volley save from S1, GK needs to focus on his balanced set position. After the catch he will have a better push to make the save back the way he's coming from when S2 hits his ball.

When S2 plays the second ball to S3, what kind of path does the GK make to get into position before the strike? Straight line or curved?
