Balls caught or defl ected on the ground<br />

1. Catching the ball<br />

Preparing to dive<br />

• the goalkeeper bends his legs, with the left leg<br />

beginning the movement,<br />

• the body weight shifts to the right leg, which the<br />

goalkeeper uses to drive to the side.<br />

Drive to the side<br />

• the goalkeeper drives slightly forward,<br />

• by simultaneously moving his arms towards the ball, the<br />

goalkeeper pulls his body in that direction and can go to<br />

ground as quickly as possible,<br />

• it is important that he lands on his side rather than on<br />

his stomach.<br />

Holding onto the ball<br />

• the goalkeeper grasps the ball with his arms<br />

outstretched, using the ground as “a third hand”,<br />

• the right hand is used as an opposing force to prevent<br />

the ball from passing,<br />

• the left hand presses the ball against the ground,<br />

• on completing the move, the goalkeeper’s body is<br />

between the goal and the ball, which provides extra<br />

assurance.<br />

<strong>Goalkeeping</strong> | 3. Technical preparation<br />

Remember!<br />

The goalkeeper must:<br />

• Dive to the ground quickly, with no interfering<br />

movements (which waste time).<br />

• Dive forwards, not backwards (if the ball slips from his<br />

grasp, it will end up to the side of the goal rather than<br />

in the goal).<br />
