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.
Keep Away - Two teams of 3 in a 5 yd square. One team
does a throw in and dribbles and passes to keep possession of the ball while
the other team tries to steal. If stolen, try to keep-away. If the ball
goes out of bounds, throw-in and continue.

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
high bounce or throw the ball to chest height.
Drill 3 - same as drill two, except
throw the ball to head height.
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.
3-on-1 pass and shoot, with GK - one line at the
sideline with a bunch of balls(throw-ins), two lines 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 closer 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).

intercept the pass and kick it past the attacking players, and a Goal Keeper.
