Hockey: Goalkeeper Compass Shuttle

I really appreciate the Hockey Coaching on Sportplan. The senior girls...
Petra

DESCRIPTION

  • Setup five cones in either the form of a compass or clock.

    On the command go the goalkeeper moves to the North then back to the middle, before then going to the East and back to the middle and so on.

    • COACHING POINTS

  • body stance should be with knees bent
  • head over knees over ankles
  • weight on balls of the feet
  • movement should be smooth, continuous and a “chassey-like”, side stepping motion around the goal circle ensuring that feet do not cross over leading to being off balanced. Faster movements and larger steps can be used when running forwards
  • head over the ball in the kicking action
