Hornets - Possession Game
edgeofplay.com/videos/-horne…
This fantastic possession game tests the awareness of the players and encourages them to make use of the space around them. A great one for juniors who are learning how to best support a team-mate on the ball.

4 players plus the GK try to keep possession of the ball against 3 attackers, using 3 neutral wall players if needed. If the attacking team win the ball back they can go for goal. Look to work on possession, utilising space, speed of play and awareness

Goalkeepers have lots of practise and repetition at saving the ball at the attackers feet safely and securely. The attacker will dribble in to a 5x5 box and try to dribble around the goalkeeper, who must pick the right moment to take the ball away.

If you haven’t yet checked out some of the ace questions @themoderndaygk have been asking their goalkeepers then head over to their profile. Coaching gold 👍🏼
12 Sep 2022
The reason for the questions is to see if we can find better ways to help goalkeepers develop.
How did GKs develop INDIVIDUALLY as opposed to being “taught” 1-1 / group settings.
BTW, How did so many play in goal & to good levels without learning the “textbook” way… 😱

4v4v4 GKs pressing game
edgeofplay.com/videos/elite-…
While 1 team work with a GK in one half to keep possession, another team look to press and win the ball back. If they do, either secure possession by switching to the resting team and GK or they go for goal: so 'secure or score!
