Welcome to the Goalkeeping Newsletter. Today’s featured activity works on footwork on crosses with opposition.
Start with 3 coaching sticks (or corner flags or mannequins) along the 6 yard line. A keeper is in goal and a server is just outside the 18 with some balls.
The server plays a ball into the box around the top of the 6 and the keeper must use proper footwork to get to the ball while competing with the “opposition” (which is represented by the sticks)
Gradually start adding more coaching sticks
Make sure you do this from both sides so the keeper gets accustomed to dealing with pressure and opposition on all types of crosses.
