Leg blocking

 
 
A The goalkeeper stands in the center of the goal and 2 rows of shooters are ready. The shots are taken in turns and they must be placed low, that is under the height of the knees. The shots must be varied, i.e. some shots close to the goalkeeper - some in greater distance but not close to the poles.

The goalkeeper must be in balance between each shot.
 

B The goalkeeper is sitting in a chair. A player must support the chair and the goalkeeper is permitted to hold on to the chair. Now low shots are made up to the height of her knees. The goalkeeper must try to block the shots with her legs. The advantage of this exercise is, that the goalkeeper don't have to carry her own weight, but can concentrate to block.
 
C The goalkeeper is squatted down. Low shots are made to the sides and the goalkeeper must block the shots with her legs. The goalkeeper must be in balance between each shot. The exercise is very exhausting - especially to heavy goalkeepers. A good way to train is by doing the Cossack dance.
