Football/Soccer Session (Advanced): Goalkeeping (shot stopping)

Blocked (10 mins)

Blocked - 10 minutes

With the goal keeper in the goal and sit cones set up in front of the goal with 1 ball per cone, the coach or another player kick the the ball not to try and score but to make the keeper produce a save.

The player shooting can only drive the shots that are going down the middle.

Each of the cones indicate where the ball should aim to go towards, the cones in the middle mean the shots go down the middle, the cones on left mean the shots go down the left side of the goal and the same for the right side cones.

- Each shot for now will be a simple side foot shot as the shot are close to be driven in.

Progression; attacking players can be added to the scenario to apply pressure to the goalkeeper if he spills the ball.

Random (10 mins)

Game - 10 minutes.

2 goals required. Goal A and Goal B.

The players who is kicking the ball at the goal must call out either 'Goal A' or 'Goal B' for the goal keeper to know what goal is going to be needed to cover. The shout must give the goalie enough time get to the goal but not so long he has time to prepare.

After each shot the goalie returns to the cone in the middle as a starting point to indicate that he is ready.
