Welcome to the Goalkeeping Newsletter. Today’s featured activity works on diving, reactions, and a bit of competitiveness.
Two keepers start 2 yards apart facing each other. Each has a ball in their right hand
Each player drops their ball, at the same time, slightly in front of their right hand. At the same time, they dive to catch the other ball before it hits the ground
They then get up as quickly as possible and do the same thing to the opposite side (holding the ball with the left hand.
The objective is to get to each ball before it hits the ground and also to try to get back to their feet before the other player.
Do this 10 times to each side and really emphasize the importance of maintaining their proper shape and technique on each dive
Have a great day!
Lawrence
