2 GK Footwork & Handling Reinforce 3 types of save techniques Scoop, Basket, and High Ball Catch. 1. High Ball Catch Players should track the flight of the ball while in the air. If possible they should take a positive step towards to intended area of the arrival of the ball (this will cut down space, speed, time, ad velocity of the ball). Bend the knees slightly to remain in an athletic GK position. With their furthest hand (front hand) they should make early contact on top of the ball slowing down the momentum. Simultaneously the closest hand (back hand) should move into support the bottom half of the ball. The finishing shape of the hands should focus on a diamond shape, or thumbs behind the ball. The feet & hands should move at a positive angle towards the flight path of the ball if at all possible with the rest of the torso & body angled towards the ball. Once in possession secure the ball and keep the elbows up to protect GK from defenders. 2. Basket Catch - Players should track the flight path of the ball in the air. If a High Ball Catch is not possible then they should prepare their body to receive the ball after their hands make contact.. If possible they should take a positive step towards to intended area of the arrival of the ball. (This will cut down space, speed, time, ad velocity of the ball). Bend the knees slightly to remain in an athletic GK position. DO NOT ALLOW THE BODY TO MAKE CONTACT FIRST. The palms of the downs should be open facing upward. The heels of the palms of the hand should make contact with the ball first, while the fingers of the hand wrap around the outside of the ball. As the hands secure the ball, the player should bring the ball into their body to absorb the speed & pace of the ball. The ball should arrive near their torso. If possible keep the head & eyes up while finishing the save to identify possible teammates to outlook the ball. Once in possession secure the ball and keep the elbows up to protect GK from defenders. 3. Scoop Catch Players should track the flight path of the ball on the ground. If possible they should take a positive step towards to intended area of the arrival of the ball (this will cut down space, speed, time, ad velocity of the ball). Bend the knees slightly to remain in an athletic GK position. As the ball arrives open the palms of the hand and position the fingers downward. Strive to make early contact with the hand on the side of the arrival of the ball (back hand), with the hand furthest away (top hand) arriving from the side with palms down, and fingers facing downward to secure possession on the side of the ball. The two hands and the ground should make for 3 points of contact. Strive to main on feet as often as possible, to allow for any recovery save opportunity. If possible keep the head & eyes up while finishing the save to identify possible teammates to outlook the ball. Once in possession secure the ball and keep the elbows up to protect GK from defenders. General principles for proper technique o Getting Set (feet) weight on toes, knees bent, chest up (not over knees), hands ready and comfortable at side Quick feet (don t cross step) short shuffle steps to keep feet under body to set & dive 1 P a g e -

17 GK Distribution Reinforce 3 types of hand distribution techniques Over hand throw, bowl, or side throw. 1. Over-hand throw Similar to a baseball throw. GK should maintain possession with two points of contact (two hands on ball, hand/fingers & forearm, hand/fingers & elbow pocket) based on age & ability of players. With secure possession of the ball, step towards your target. Keep knees slightly bent, torso/chest up, and release ball. Follow through with arm, and continue momentum towards target taking several steps toward area of pass. The release point should strive to be even with the as it relates to the distance of height relative to the GK. The trajectory of the ball should be high-low in an arching manner. It should have limited loft time, as this is a high paced pass over space. This can also be used to bounce a ball into space, or towards a teammate. Finishing motion should be erect, and should/head should not be facing downward. 2. Bowl throw - Similar to a bowling alley motion.

Repeat for repetitions, or time based pre-determined by coach s preference. 22 P a g e -

24 GK High Balls & Crosses Reinforce 3 types of receiving high balls & crosses techniques Parrying, Punching, and High Ball Cross Save. 1. Parrying Players should employ the parry save to redirect a shot on goal wide of the frame, or over the cross bar if they are not able to catch the ball cleanly. Parrying shots can be used with the single hand, or both hands. a. To parry a shot on frame: i. Typically performed on shots with greater pace, curve, dip, etc. To execute the parry save take a positive step towards the flight path of the ball reach towards the arrival point of the ball, and extend one or both open hands. As the ball approaches the area in which the GK is able to redirect its path with their hands, they should open their hands so their palms are facing the oncoming ball. Preferably your furthest hand from the arrival point of the ball (top hand) should look to make contact with the ball on the heel of the hand providing a slight outward bend to prevent the ball from redirecting into the goal. The closest hand to the arrival point of the ball (bottom hand) should quickly follow, and mirror the top hand. The bottom hand should remain open to the ball, palms facing outward, fingers outstretched. In a similar motion, the bottom hand should look to make contact with the heel of the hand to provide and outward bend to push the ball wide of the goal frame. b. To parry a shot over the cross bar: i. Retreat towards the arrival point of the ball. Jump off your closest leg to the ball, or front foot. This will enable to most power, and provide the greatest angle to close down the flight path of the ball. Use your top hand, or hand closest to the ball. Employ a striking motion upward, connecting the heel of the hand over the ball. If you cannot use the heel of the hand, then roll the wrist horizontally, and push the ball wide/over the cross bar with the fingers. The fingers should never finish towards the goal which could result in redirecting the ball into the net. 2. Punching - Players should employ the punch save to redirect a shot on goal wide of the frame, or over redirect a cross if they are not able to catch the ball cleanly. Punching shots can be used with the single hand, or both hands. a. To punch a shot on game away from the goal: i. Players can use a single hand or both hands. The technique is very similar. Close the fingers together and form a fist. Bring the fist up towards the player s chest. Take a positive step towards the flight path of the ball, push the fist(s) towards the ball with an angled motion, making contact and redirecting the ball away from goal. The player should strike the make contact with the center of the ball on the backside of the ball with their knuckles to absorb the pace of the ball. b. To punch a cross away from the target area: i. Players can use a single hand or both hands. The technique is very similar. Close the fingers together and form a fist. Bring the fist up towards the player s chest. Take a positive step towards the flight path of the ball, and jump of the front leg to achieve maximum elevation. As the ball as reaches its drop point drive the arms forward making contact under the ball with the knuckles of the hand to absorb the pace of the ball. 23 P a g e -

25 3. High Ball Cross Save - As the ball is traveling towards the GK, or an intended area the GK should track the flight path of the ball with their eyes. Moving their feet quickly, using small steps they should position their point to attack the ball in the air. The GK should jump off one leg to attack the ball at the highest point they can achieve. Their hips should be slightly angled, preferably parallel to the goal line. This will allow them to collect the ball facing forward. As the player elevates collect the balls with both hands outstretched over their hand. Upon collection and they travel back to the ground, the GK should secure the ball into their body by wrapping the ball into their chest, and protecting it with their elbows from any on coming defenders. GK Agility & Perry Place 3 cones from the center of the goal angled to one side of the goal every 2-3 yards (based on the player s age & ability). Place 1 cones and balls 8-10 yards away (based on players & ability) to act as service point for cross. GKs move through agility cones based on coach s choice of footwork (1 foot, 2 feet, horizontal & turn, etc.). After they complete the agility cones, they should drop step and shuffle to cover the lofted cross towards the back post. Repeat for repetitions, or time based pre-determined by coach s preference. GK recovers to the back post and uses the appropriate save technique (High ball Catch, Parry, or Punch) based on service. Coach/Server to vary service type server high, medium, or low balls. 24 P a g e -

26 GK 4 Corner Crosses - Place a target area in the six yard box 8x8x8x8 (based on player s age & ability level). This is the target area. Place 4 cones in the 4 corners of the final third of the field (based on age & ability of players). Station 1 server and balls at each cone. The servers send balls to the target area, for the GK to collect and return to server. Repeat for repetitions, or time based pre-determined by coach s preference. GK uses the appropriate save technique (High ball Catch, Parry, or Punch) based on service. Coach/Server to vary service type server high, medium, or low balls. 25 P a g e -

27 GK 4 Corner Crosses - Place a target area in the six yard box 8x8x8x8 (based on player s age & ability level). This is the target area. Place 4 cones in the 4 corners of the final third of the field (based on age & ability of players). Station 1 server and balls at each cone. Include 4 target runners to enter space unopposed to redirect the service onto the frame. The servers send balls to the target area, for the GK to collect and return to server. If the GK can field the service they should get set to defend the shot on target. Repeat for repetitions, or time based pre-determined by coach s preference. GK uses the appropriate save technique (High ball Catch, Parry, or Punch) based on service. Coach/Server to vary service type server high, medium, or low balls. 26 P a g e -
