Goal keeper exercises 2


2 players without a ball

1 2 goalkeepers facing each other. The first makes different goalkeeper related movements with the hands. The other acts as a mirror and makes the same movements.
 
 
2 2 goalkeepers facing each other. A with the arms stretched forward and with the palm of the hands downward. B stands with her arms stretched out and with her hands on top of A's hands. Without a signal the A moves both her hands to the side and up and must try to hit B's hands. The B must try to avoid getting hit.
 
 
3 A stands with one arm stretched out to the side. B stands facing A's stretched arm with one arm slightly bend and with the fingertips pressed against A's fingertips. Without a signal B must try to hit A's hand. A must try to avoid getting hit by moving the arm to the side - still stretched. Remember to practice with both arms.
 
 

 
2 players with a ball

1 A is sitting on the floor with both hands flat on the floor just outside the thighs. B stands behind A with a ball held above A's head. B drops the ball and A must catch it with both hands. The ball is returned to B. A must not look up but look straight forward.
 
 
2 A stands in front of B with the back turned to B and with the legs spread. B has the ball. The ball is now rolled between A's leg and A must try to get the ball before it rolls to far away (within 3-4 meter)
 
 
3 A is standing facing the wall. The distance must match A's reaction abilities. B stands behind A. B throws a ball against the wall and A must block/catch the ball when it bounces back from the wall. B must throw in different ways in order that the ball bounces back to A in different ways - left and right - high and low. If A's reactions are fast, A must be close to the wall. If slow a greater distance must be used.
 
 
4 A and B are standing facing each other in a distance of about 1 1/2 meter. A throws his ball up in the air. At the same time B throws his ball to A by using both hands. A catches the ball and immediately pushes it back to B and then catch his own ball again. A must not throw his ball high in the air, but only as high that he is able to catch it again in the last second.
 
 
5 A and B are sitting with front to each other - distance about 2 meter and the legs spread. They throw a ball between themselves in such a way that they have to lean to the side in order to catch the ball. If possible the ball is caught with both hands.
 
 
6 A is lying on the floor as is making push ups. B stands in front of A. B throws by turns a ball to the right and to the left of A, who must block the balls by reaching out with right and left leg. B must have a number of balls ready so the balls can arrive in a fast rhythm.
 
 
7 same exercise but squatted
 
 
8 A is lying on the floor as is making push ups. B stands in front of A. B throws by turns a bal to the right and to the left of A, who must block the balls by reaching out with right and left arm. B must have a number of balls ready so the balls can arrive in a fast rhythm.
 
 
9 same exercise but squatted
 
 
10 Same exercise as 6-9, but now with arm blockings to one side and leg blocking to the other side. Both sides must be trained.
 
 
11 A is lying flat on the back. B throws a ball softly against A - height of the ball against the chest of A, if A was standing up. A stands up and catch/block the ball.
 
 
12 A stands with the back against B in a distance of 2-3 meter. B says "Now" and throws a ball to A at the same time. A quickly turns and catch the ball. The throws must be varied in such a way that the ball must be caught straight on - to the left and right - high and low.
 
 
13 A is lying on his back with a ball held between the feet. B stands behind A. A lift his legs and "throws" the ball to B. B rolls the ball back to A, who again places the ball between the feet.
 
 
14 A stands in front of B with a ball wedged between the feet. A jumps up with the feet together, moves the legs forward and throw the ball to B.
 
 
15 A and B is lying on the belly with front to each other - distance about 2 meter. The ball is thrown backwards and forwards with 2-hand throw and the upper body lifted.
 
 
16 A and B stands with front to each other - distance a little more than 1 meter. The ball is kicked backwards and forwards between A and B with the inside of the foot.
 
 
17 A and B plays volley-ball
 
 
18 The goalkeeper sits down on a big ball (diameter close to 1 meter). The feet are placed on the floor. Shots are now performed in shoulder height on the goalkeeper and he must - without loosing his balance on the ball - block the shot with his arms. This exercises teaches the goalkeeper not to drop the upper body when blocking the shots, but instead stretch the body upwards/outwards. If the body is leaned outward he will loose his balance.
 


3 players with a ball

1 2 cones are placed beside each other with a distance of 3 meter. The goalkeeper stands by one of the cones with a ball and 2 helping players are standing about 2 meter in front of each cone. The helping player, who stands in front of an empty cone has a ball.
The goalkeeper now tips the ball to the helping player in front of him. At the same time the second helping player throws his ball softly against his cone. The goalkeeper must with quick movement of the feet reach to the ball and catch it with one hand and tip it back. Then return to the first cone, on order to tip the ball back to the first helping player, who has thrown his ball softly at that moment, the goalkeeper returned the ball to the second helping player. This goes on from side to side. The goalkeeper must bend down on he's knee when catching the ball. 
 
 
2 Same exercise but this time the ball must be caught and returned in head-height.
