Set Up:

• Players are in pairs with one ball.

• Each player has a goal to defend (3 yds. wide), and the goals are 6 yds. apart. They can be further away/closer depending on the players' ability. Have extra soccer balls close by.

• Players try to score on the opponent, but only with an underhand throw. Ball must be below shoulder height to count as a goal, and the attacker must be standing between his own goal posts.

• Play for 1 minute. Ask who won and switch partners to play again.

Coaching Points:

• GKs need to move their feet to get their body behind the ball.

• The ready position for GK's id knees bent, up on the toes, chest forward. The hands need to be at hip height with palms facing the shooter.

• Encourage quick play to catch the opposing GK off-guard.
