Deflection / Angles Drill:

Setup the practice as shown.

The coach feeds the ball out to the right winger who receives the ball and takes the ball into the circle

The winger can either shoot or pass the ball to the back post.

The goalkeeper must cover the shot and then react if the attacker decides to pass the ball instead.

The player on the back post can be a goalkeeper in order to practice diving to get to the pass.

Goal keeping

Accurate Kicking - Long Distance:

The feeder feeds the ball to the goalkeeper who kicks the ball to the wide player who either kicks / hits the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Coach can also feed the ball to player 2 to hit / kick the ball to goalkeeper. The idea is to keep the practice going as long as possible.

Coach can vary feed (e.g. bounce) for keeper to control kick to player 2.

Goal keeping

Clear before the line:

Goal keeper stays on the line until the coach roles a ball towards the edge of the circle the Goal keeper has to run and touch the ball before it leaves the circle. After having done this the GK has to retreat back to the goal and react to the next ball.

Goal keeping

Develop the kick:

Setup the drill as shown.

The coach numbers all the players on the edge of the circle. The coach then calls out a number and that player passes the ball to the goalkeeper for them to kick the ball into the goal.

After a set, move the feeders closer to the goalkeeper - to increase the reflexes of the goalkeeper.
