Decision Making

Learning Outcomes

To improve Goalkeeping techniques

Description Of Activity

Play is set up using one goal, one GK, one forward, and 5 balls.
1 striker works and has five attempts to score.
The players come and collect a ball, turn and shoot.
As soon as the player shoots they must sprint to pick up another ball.
The aim of the drill is for the goalkeeper to quickly decide on angles, positioning and which technique he is going to use to save the ball, chest saves, W, low dive, and if they are going to catch the ball or parry it into a safe area.

Variations

Ask the forward to mix their shooting technique. Low drives, chip, curl, etc.
The forward must try and round the keeper 1 on 1.
