Pressure Drill
Purpose:
To develop
quick reaction, positional sense and to practice handling and
agility.
Procedure:
A goalkeeper stands in a goal, made up with posts, and faces
varied serves from A, B, C and D in quick succession, for a set
time period, as follows: A: who stands approximately 10 yards
away, kicks a hard ball directly to the goalkeeper at chest
level; B: stands approximately 15 yards away at an angle and
drives a hard low shot for the near or far post region; C:
stands about 40 yards away in a flank position and crosses a
high ball in front of the goal; D: who is positioned near the
goal line and approximately 15 yards away from the goal, hits
the ball across the face of the goal. The goalkeeper defends
each service: if he saves the ball by catching it he returns it
to the server, if not, the three retrievers get the ball and
keep the practice continuous.
Development:
(a) Count the number of successful saves made by each goalkeeper
during a given time period.
(b) The coach can direct the servers
to quicken up the service, thus creating more pressure for the
goalkeeper.
(c) Add an attacker who "listens" near goal,
generally challenges the goalkeeper and tries to score from
anything that the goalkeeper fails to save. |
