Silent Soccer<br />
Purpose<br />
To improve defensive communication in a game situation<br />
Organization<br />
Set out a 60-by-40-yard area with a goal (5 yards wide) and a goalkeeper on both endlines. Play 5 vs. 5 inside the<br />
area. One ball per practice.<br />
Game Objective<br />
Play a regular scrimmage game with the exception that only goalkeepers are allowed to talk during the game. Goalkeepers<br />
should organize defenders, communicate direct instructions to defenders and call for the ball when they<br />
come out to catch or punch the ball.<br />
Progression<br />
Play 4 vs. 4 with 2 floating players that play for the team in possession. This will increase the communication requirements<br />
for goalkeepers.<br />
Key Coaching Points<br />
1. The goalkeeper should be clear, concise and loud.<br />
2. The goalkeeper should stay with the decision once he commits to it.<br />
