Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: angling the stick under the ball will generate lift to move it over a stick.
- Move: as a goalkeeper, using your feet to save low shots allows you to clear the ball away faster by kicking.
- Think: a penalty shootout is used as a tiebreaker and players have 8 seconds to score against the goalkeeper.
- Feel: playing in goal takes confidence to commit to saves without hesitation, especially in one-on-one situations.
- Connect: effective teamwork thrives on open dialogue, where players feel happy sharing ideas, feedback and concerns.

Common misconception
As a goalkeeper it is important to use your stick to hit away the ball.
It's often more effective to rely on your pads or kickers for blocking low shots and redirecting the ball to safety. The stick is mainly for high / wide shots or controlling passes, but your legs and body provide a larger surface area for most shots.
