Goalkeeper War
1 vs 1
- Description
- Two goals are set up 10-20 meters apart. Only goalkeepers are on the field, competing against each other by trying to save shots from the opposing side. When a goalkeeper makes a save, they get to attempt to shoot into the opponent's net. Shots are taken within a few meters of their own goal. Six balls are used in the game, and a player who scores gets to grab the ball from their own goal. The winner is the one whose own goal is emptied first.
- Quality factors
- The exercise focuses on the goalkeeper's essential skills: saves, reaction ability, playing with feet, and accuracy. Lots of repetitions!
- Key questions
- Reaction ability and saving skills – Players are guided to focus on quick and accurate saves. Emphasis is placed on proper saving techniques (e.g., with feet, hands, or upper body) that help to effectively prevent shots.
