defending the goal

Another masterclass from ex Man Utd Goalkeeper Coach, Eric Steele. Eric has designed the session to put the Goalkeeper’s into game scenarios in which they must recognise the triggers on whether they should smother or block the ball.

With a variety of exercises, the emphasis is placed on the decision making process. The Goalkeepers are put into scenarios which will make them think ‘WHEN and WHY’ to use their chosen technique to defend the goal.
