Save, get up, save again

  2. The ball is loose, so you are not finished.
  3. Up fast, eyes on the ball the whole time.
  4. Set again before the next shot.
  5. Second save.
How it is set up

Setup. One goal. Everyone starts with three lives. Shots are taken from a line 12 metres out.

How it runs. One keeper in goal, the next in line shoots. If you score, the keeper loses a life. If the keeper saves it, you lose a life. If the keeper holds it cleanly, they also win a life back, up to three. Then the shooter goes in goal. A parried ball is live: the shooter can finish the rebound. Last keeper with a life left wins.

Coaching points

  1. Set for every shot. It is a game, and it is also thirty shots of practice.
  2. A clean catch is worth more than a parry here, the same as in a match.
  3. After a parry, get up and get set. The rebound is coming.
  4. When someone makes a good save, say so, even if it has just cost you a life.

Make it harder. Shots are first time from a pass. Then every shooter has to use their weaker foot.

With 4 keepers. Three lives each.
