Exercise #165: Diving Over a Player

OBJECTIVE:	This exercise works on the proper technique for power diving.
DESCRIPTION:	A goalkeeper should stand next to a player on his hands and knees with head down. A coach should serve a ball to the other side of the player on the ground and the keeper should take a power step, bring over his opposite (or top) knee, fly over the kneeling player, and make the save. Make sure the keeper starts facing the server and has his shoulders square as he leaves the ground. Be sure to serve balls to both sides so the keeper must make saves from both directions.
