defending the goal amongst chaos

Eric delivers a fantastic session working with a large group of goalkeepers, offering each goalkeeper multiple save opportunities.

With full size goals and mini goals within the one exercise, multiple goalkeepers are presented with different pictures, encouraging them to make decisions under pressure, with regards to their chosen save technique.

An excellent session, which saw every goalkeeper involved and with a smile on their face, which is of the upmost importance after a lengthly lay off from the training ground, due to COVID-19.
