34 <strong>Goalkeeping</strong> | 3. Technical preparation<br />
<strong>Goalkeeping</strong> play is the goalkeeper’s activity on the pitch.<br />
The main components of goalkeeping are the defensive and<br />
offensive aspects. A goalkeeper’s play is determined by his<br />
technical qualities linked to his tactical behaviour (individual<br />
and group). In this section, we put tactical considerations to<br />
one side and concentrate on technique.<br />
Examining this more closely, we can defi ne four basic<br />
techniques that can be developed using components<br />
specifi c to the goalkeeper.<br />
The four basic techniques are:<br />
• Positioning<br />
• Saves<br />
• Distributing the ball<br />
• The back pass – This last technique became relevant with<br />
the introduction of the rule that prohibits the goalkeeper<br />
from handling the ball in certain situations.<br />

<strong>Goalkeeping</strong><br />
Discussing distributing the ball and the back pass separately<br />
seems a sensible approach and makes explanations easier<br />
rather than generally talking about playing the ball with feet.<br />
A “special component” can be added to goalkeeping play.<br />
This relates to the basics described above (positioning, saves<br />
and distributing the ball) and concerns defending deadball<br />
situations.<br />
All the goalkeeper’s actions on the pitch must be<br />
accompanied by communication with team-mates verbally<br />
and through body language.<br />

* The goalkeeper’s saves are always defensive. However, in some cases they may go on to become offensive.<br />
Example:<br />
A crossed ball is punched away to an unmarked team-mate.<br />
