Welcome to the Goalkeeping Newsletter. Today's featured activity works on dealing with crosses and then quick distribution.
The reason for today’s activity is to reinforce to the keeper that making a save or catching a cross is just the start of the play and NOT the end of the play.
Start with a server out wide on each side, a keeper in goal and 5 gates spread around the half of the field.
One server plays a ball in as a cross and the keeper comes out and catches the ball.
The opposite server than calls a number 1-5 and the keeper then throws (or rolls) the ball through the appropriate gate.
As soon as the ball is distributed the keeper resets and then takes a serve from the other side.
Really emphasize to the keeper the importance of distributing quickly and accurately
Have a great day!
