HANDLING UNDER PRESSURE — SHOT AND SAVE

DESCRIPTION

Goalkeeper faces a series of shots from increasing angles and pressure. Drills the fundamental handling technique — get behind the ball, cushion it, secure it.

COACHING POINTS

• Move feet first, hands second
• Get the body behind the ball where possible
• Cushion the catch — withdraw the hands as contact happens
• Two hands on every save where possible
• If you can\'t catch, parry wide — never into the danger zone

PROGRESSIONS

Progression: add an attacker following in for rebounds. Increase shot power.
Regression: slower shots, predictable angles.
