Exercise #137: Bowling and Throwing Accuracy Practice
|
|
OBJECTIVE:
|
This gives the keeper the opportunity to practice bowling and throwing the ball at the correct pace for one of his players to receive on the run, while still having to make saves.
|
|
DESCRIPTION:
|
One group of players should line up to one side of the goal, just wide of the penalty area. Another group should line up outside the penalty area, across from the opposite goal post. The keeper starts with the ball and bowls or throws it to a player who makes a run up the field from the goal line. This player collects the ball, dribbles straight up the field until he is directly opposite the other group, passes it to the first player in that group, and stays where he is.
The next player receives the ball, takes a touch toward goal, and shoots (he should not dribble in for a 1v1 with the keeper). He should follow his shot and then form a new line wide of the goal, opposite from the first group. After the keeper makes the save, he serves another ball out to the next runner, and the process continues until there are no more runners. The direction of play then reverses and the keeper serves balls to his other side.
