6 vs. 6 Loop Soccer<br />
Purpose<br />
To develop the goalkeeper’s ability to catch the ball or tip the ball in a game situation<br />
Organization<br />
Set out a 60-by-40-yard area with 5-yard end-zone channels at each endline. Play 6 vs. 6 inside the area. One ball<br />
per practice.<br />
Game Objective<br />
Players advance the ball up field by throwing the ball to a teammate above head height. Players maintain possession<br />
by catching the ball or tipping the ball over their heads to teammates. The ball changes possession when an opposition<br />
player intercepts the ball or when a player drops the ball when attempting to catch it. Players may not move when<br />
they are in possession <strong>of</strong> the ball. A goal is scored when a player catches the ball in the attacking end zone.<br />
Progression<br />
Introduce a goal and goalkeepers on each endline. A goal is scored when a player volleys the ball into the goal.<br />
Key Coaching Points<br />
1. Keep your eyes on the ball.<br />
2. Call for the ball with a loud shout <strong>of</strong> “Keeper’s ball!”<br />
3. Attack the ball and meet it at its highest point.<br />
