Save Two
Save Two
Set Up:
There are six players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, the Feeder places three balls in a tight bunch and plays all three onto the field with one kick. Each of the three shooters collects a ball, and they finish in this order: (1) A first time shot from close in. (2) A finish from outside of the penalty area. (3) A breakaway finish. The goalkeeper scores a point if he saves at least two out of three, and games are played to five points.
Coaching Points:
1. Make the decision to come off your line early and aggressively.
2. Dive thru the ball and make contact with the attacker.
3. After each save, bounce back up to your feet and return to the set position.
Progressions:
1. All three attackers try to dribble the ball over the goal line.
