Change of Direction Dives

By Lawrence Fine, Author of the FineSoccer Coaching Bible.

Welcome to the Goalkeeping Newsletter. Today’s featured activity involves fitness, agility, change of direction and extension dives.

Start with a keeper in the center of the goal with 4 low hurdles between the center and a post. There is also a flag on the 6 even with that post. There is a server 10 yards from goal on the end line.

The keeper begins by jumping over each hurdle (sideways), touches the near post and then sprints to touch the flag.

The keeper makes a half turn and dives to make the save.

The keeper then gets up and goes back to the center of the goal to do it again. If you have 2-3 keepers they can rotate and go one after the other. Each keeper would go 5 times and then change sides.

Have a great day!
