    Chipping the Keeper

     view description
    • Objective

      To get under the ball enough to lift it over the goalkeeper and into the net before the 'keeper can recover back toward the goal line.

      Coaching Points

      The angle of approach to the ball is almost side on. Leaning back, turn the striking foot inward and hit with the instep while not following through.

      Problems to Watch Out For

      Players will touch the ball straight forward and not out to the side, which will prevent them from being able to get under the ball enough. Players also follow through too far.

      Why This Works

      This drill covers a match-realistic situation.
