The art of shot stopping is a secret you need to teach your goalkeeper

Key coaching tip: Good positioning by a goalkeeper makes it harder for the attackers

Shot Stopping

Putting it into practice in three ways

Phase 1: The middle attacker plays the ball to himself, at any angle left or right, and gives chase. He has to shoot with his second touch.

Phase 2: The middle attacker plays the ball left or right to either of the two supporting attackers. The supporting attackers can either shoot first time or take a touch before shooting.

Phase 3: The middle attacker can either take a touch left or right and take a shot, or pass. If they pass, the supporting attackers can now shoot on their third touch if they choose to.

Key coaching tip: The coach should observe the keepers movement FROM BEHIND THE GOAL
