KEEPERS: REACTIONS
The goalkeeper’s reaction speed can win or lose games. Perfect your technique to beat the opposition’s strikers with your quickness. As they get ready to shoot, you’re already in position.
EQUIPMENT:
12 footballs, 1 cone
SUMMARY:
I. One server stands on the side of the goal, about 5 metres from the goalpost. The other server is on the edge of the box. The goalkeeper works in half the goal, so use a cone to mark his working area.
II. The keeper starts facing the side server. He fires a low ball to the keeper, forcing him to dive.
III. After saving it, the keeper has to get up fast to face the other server who aims for a high shot.
IV. Work for 3 sets of 6. Pay particular attention to your technique and body position, going from one position to the other with no unnecessary extra movements. As you improve, increase speed and distances
