Evaluation of trajectories with different balls

Summary

Exercise with balls of different weights and sizes so that the trajectory is variable

Organization

The goalkeeper stands in the goal to occupy the goalkeeper's area. The trainer stands on the penalty spot with ten different balls (soccer balls number 4 and 5, volleyball, rugby, tennis, etc.).

Description

  • The objective of the game is to keep the ball from falling to the ground inside the goalkeeper's area
  • The goalkeeper who manages not to drop the ball ten times consecutively wins
  • The trainer throws one ball in the air at a time with high trajectories; the goalkeeper must try to block the ball and, once caught, returns it to the trainer
  • The trainer will continue to throw one ball at a time until one falls to the ground or until the tenth consecutive ball is caught

Coaching Points

  • Exercise with a playful component that should encourage fun
  • Goalkeepers are stimulated to catch the ball but also to evaluate trajectory
  • Using balls of different size and texture helps the goalkeeper in the sensitization of the approach to the impact
  • Specifically nurturing and encouraging goalkeepers' adaptive and transformational skills
