Sunday from 4-5 PM Goalkeeper Trainees “Own the Box”!

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 05:06:55 +0000

Looking for new insight into the “beautiful game”?
Come on out to the Beautiful Turf Field on Sunday afternoons and learn a whole new part of the sport that you may never have thought about before.

The Goalkeeper is the last line of defense and the first line of attack. S/he coordinates the defense and feeds the offense. This is a leadership position on the team and requires commitment and dedication. You have to be smart and just a bit crazy! You also need to be able to shake off your mistakes with a desire to learn from them, but not dwell on them.

Playing ‘Keeper requires a different mentality and a different skill set. Learning these skills will make you a better soccer player regardless of your favourite position on your team. Learning how the ‘Keeper thinks will help you as a shooter! Learn how to score against a trained ‘Keeper!

This week we reviewed footwork, positioning, and catching before we moved on to Laws that pertain to the ‘Keeper, Crosses and corner kicks and Distribution of the ball. Then we did a bit more diving! Fun stuff!

Everyone is welcome to join us, adults and students, boys and girls. Its fun and educational, and as one adult said this week, “it takes you out of your comfort zone!” It is good to do that once in a while!

We will meet on the field November 21 and 28 at 4PM. Next week we will review and expand on coming forward to cover a “breakaway” striker, Penalty Kicks, and the importance of communication.

Til next week,
Own the Box!
