Goal keeper exercises 3

Team exercises

1 The shooters stand with front at the goal along the ´goal circle - holding a ball in front front of themselves. The goalkeeper runs forward and touch a ball, and the shooter, who's ball has been touched throws the ball against the goal in a high soft curve over the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper runs backwards and tips the ball over the goal frame. REMEMBER: The ball must be thrown at the center of the goal in order that the goalkeeper does not risk running into a goal pole. Also remember that it is a goalkeeper exercise. The throw must be performed in such a way that the goalkeeper has a chance to reach the ball.
 
2 The shooters stand 2 by 2 - each with a ball and have made an agreement, who is shooting. Both runs forward and perform a shooting movement, but only one releases the ball. The distance between the shooters may be increased when the goalkeeper gets better. Start with a distance of about 2 meter and end the exercise with shots from LB and RB position.
 
3 The shooters stand 2 by 2 - each with a ball. The 1st shooter runs forward and the 2nd shooter runs behind the 1st in a distance of about 2 meter. The 1st shooter shoots at goal - high or low - at the 9-meter line in her starting side. The 2nd shooter also shoots from the 9-meter line in her starting point side - high or low. The goalkeeper must try to take both shots.
 
4 The shooters ex. 10 are numbered from 1 to 10 and are placed along the 9-meter throw line from RB to LB position. The goalkeeper must not know the numbers of the shooters. The coach now shouts "ONE" and the player with No. One shoots. Then he shouts "Two" and player No. 2 shoots. There must be about 1 second between each shot. If there is a risk that the goalkeeper could step on a loose ball, the exercise is stopped. The exercise can be performed again with the same numbers, but this time the counting is backwards. Or with even and odd numbers: 2-4-6-8-10-1-3-5-7-9 and so on.
 
5 Same exercise, but this time all the shooters act as if they are shooting, but only the called shooter shoots. This exercise is very difficult for the goalkeeper, why it may be necessary to concentrate the shooters on a smaller center area.
 
6

A ball is placed on both sides of the goal in a distance of 1-2 meters from the poles.. Two shooters (A and B) are standing at the goal circle each holding a ball. Further 2 players (C and D) are placed at each outer side of the center line of the court. The last player (E) is standing on the center of the 9-meter throw line.

Now the following happens:

E shoots at goal - 1 shot to the left and 1 shot to the right. The goalkeeper blocks the shots if possible. The goalkeeper now runs diagonally outward and touches A's ball. A shoots at goal with a high curved ball. The goalkeeper tries to reach the ball. Then the goalkeeper runs to the pole away from A, takes a ball and throws it to C. Then quickly over and touch B's ball. B throws the ball in a high curve at goal and the goalkeeper blocks the shot. Then the last ball at the other pole is picked up and thrown to D. Remember to watch that the goalkeeper is in no danger by loose balls in the working area
 
7 2 goalkeepers in the goal. One of them (A) stands in front and the other (B) stands behind A. The shooters now shoots directly at the goalkeeper with a fair amount of time between each shot. When goalkeeper A has taken the shot, she moves diagonally backwards to the left or right (this must be agreed upon) and the real goalkeeper (B) moves forward. A moves behind B and now the next shot is taken. 
 
8 2 goalkeepers in the goal. One is standing by the left pole (A) and the other by the right pole (B). A moves to the center of the goal. The shooters now start shooting with a fair amount of time between each shot. After the shot A moves to her pole and B moves to the center of the goal and the next shot is taken.
 


Courage

1 The goalkeeper is placed behind the goal so far away that the net cannot be pressed into her by a hard shot. Now the shooters shoots directly against the goalkeepers head and the goalkeeper must "block" the shots without turning or bow her head. Neither must the eyes be closed.
 
2 A player throws the ball softly against the goalkeepers head. The goalkeeper returns the ball with her head.
 
3 A player throws the ball softly against the body of the goalkeeper. Without using the arms the goalkeeper blocks the shot. Take care that the ball does not hit tender areas.
