Comments:
Although this is more a ‘diversionary’ type activity, it is enjoyable and encourages good team play and attacking awareness.
From the keeper’s perspective, it provides high repetitions for goal mouth situations, encouraging decisive collecting technique and attention to distribution decisions after saves are made.
