Reacting to the players touch to close down and save


Description

In this session we are focusing on reacting to the players touch to close down and save. The drill begins with the player passing/throwing the ball into the coach/player in the box. The attacker looks to take the ball out the box and attack towards goal. The keeper looks to close down the attacker quickly and save the 1 v 1. The keeper should aim to close down the angle quickly and force the attacker to rush their shot and put pressure on the attacker. Each set should consist of 4 - 6 reps and should be completed at least three times.
