LEARNING OUTCOME
To improve Goalkeeping techniques
TEACHING CUES
- Communication, keep talking to the defenders and other players around the last 3rd of the pitch (KEEPER’S BALL !!!) Even at training it is good practice to shout loud for the ball
- Keeper to be on toes all the time
- Anticipation & awareness
- Footwork – agility & flexibility
- Stance – bend the knees to lower the body, head and shoulders up straight. The legs are now loaded like springs for quicker reaction to low or high shots
- Decision making regarding the positioning of the hands / arms. Elbows tucked in with hands up or hand low.
ACTIVITY SET-UP AND PROCEDURE
EQUIPMENT:
Marked area, cones and balls
