Shot Stopping from a Turn and Shot from the Angle | Goalkeeping

Shot Stopping from a Turn and Shot from the Angle:

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

  • Ball played into feet of the attacker with a passive defender or mannequin behind them.
  • The Server takes one touch to roll the defender and get a shot away with the second touch.

NOTES:

  • Make sure the attacker does not take too many touches
  • The attackers first touch should be wide but not too wide to make the angle so acute that it is difficult to get on target. If this is happening cone an area off in the 18yd box where the shot must be taken inside.
