Goal Keeping
Positions
Quick Shot and Give and Go - two lines behind the 18 yd line.
One coach on each side of penalty area. (for Give and Go: Player
first passes to coach) Coach executes centering pass and player shoots
directly from the pass (no dribbling). Retrieve ball and go to other
line.
Up the side, Center pass, Shoot - two lines near midfield, cones
diagonally toward corner. From each line: 1st player dribbles up
the side, 2nd player breaks to center. When 1st player clears the
last cone, center pass to 2nd player, who shoots as quickly as possible.
Retrieve ball and go to end of other line.
One on One - four lines total, 2 across from each other. 2
lines are offense, 2 are defense. Each child in the defender lines
has a ball.
Go - the defender passes to the offense.
Then the offence tries to dribble past the defense. When O has dribbled
to the D cone the playes go to the end of the other line.
tips: 1) reminders from last time.
2) offense, watch the defender's body.
Dribble straight at the defender. When they stab at the ball try
to dribble behind them.
3) defense, watch the ball. Don't go for
fakes. Try to stay between the O and your goal. Be a pest.

Goal Keeping
Drill 1 - each child will stand opposite a partner, with one ball for each
pair of players. The first player will roll the ball to the second,
and that player will practice scooping the ball and bringing it into the
body. Then player 2 will roll the ball to player 1.
Drill 2 - same as drill one, except each player will be on their knees
and we will practice diving to save the ball using a pendulum roll.
The key is to roll on the side of the body on the rib cage, and not on
the front or the back. The arm closest to the ground should be extended
so the player doesn't land on the elbow.
Drill 3 - same as drill two, except each player will be standing and we
will practice diving to save the ball by squating and staying low.
The key is to land and roll on the side of the body on the rib cage, and
not on the front or the back. The arm closest to the ground should
be extended so the player doesn't land on the elbow. Keep
Away - Set up 12 cones. One (or 2) players at each code.
Stay near your cone. Pass the ball from player to player, keeping
the ball away from the roving coaches and players. Keep your eyes
up, pass quickly, and let the ball do the work.
2-on-1
pass and shoot, with GK - one line at the sideline with a bunch of
balls(throw-ins), one line facing the goal(forwards), one line to the side
of the goal (GKs), and one line to the side, half-way between the goal
and the forwards (defense). The players are equally distributed among
the lines.
Go - the first child at the sideline does a throw-in
to the other forward. They then start moving toward the goal dribbling
the ball. Work the ball, and then shoot (remember to choose, and
try to hit, a target). There will be 1 defensive player (from the
defense line) who will try to intercept the pass and kick it past the attacking
players, and a Goal Keeper. Each player shifts to the end of the
next line.
15 min. (or whatever works) 7 vs. 7 game, goal keeper (or scrimmage with
another team)
