Lateral coordination and frontal blocking exercise with completion

Lateral Coordination on a Coordination Ladder:
The drill begins with the goalkeeper performing a series of lateral steps on a coordination ladder. Speed and accuracy are essential in this phase, alternating the landing of both feet on and off the steps. This exercise improves lateral agility and coordination, which are essential for quick movements in goal.
Side Drop:
At the end of the ladder, the goalkeeper executes a controlled side drop to one side. It's crucial to maintain proper technique, protecting the body and controlling the landing. This move simulates a ground save, reinforcing the ability to react to low shots.
Stand-up and frontal block:
After falling, the goalkeeper explosively stands up to make a frontal block. The block should be firm, simulating the saving of a direct shot. Here, the goalkeeper works on quick reaction time and body positioning to face frontal shots.
Side Shift:
The goalkeeper then makes a quick side shift, efficiently covering space. This movement should be fluid, maintaining a low posture and ready to intervene at any moment, with the goal of reaching a new defensive position.
Finishing:
The drill concludes with a finishing move, in which the goalkeeper must block a shot or deflect a ball to the side. The emphasis should be on the goalkeeper's technique and how quickly they react and finish the move.

Goalkeeper Drop Back + Low Block:
The drill begins with the goalkeeper making a quick drop back toward the goal line, maintaining a low stance and eyes on the ball. Upon reaching the proper position, the goalkeeper executes a low block, covering the ground with their body to stop a low shot. The emphasis is on the speed of the drop back and the technique of the low block, ensuring the ball is controlled.
Move to the post + frontal block:
After the low block, the goalkeeper moves explosively toward one of the posts. The transition must be quick and efficient, always keeping the body oriented toward the play. Upon reaching the post, the goalkeeper prepares to make another frontal block, this time expecting a direct shot. Posture and reaction speed are key to successfully blocking the ball.
Positioning and Aerial Blocking:
Finally, the goalkeeper positions himself appropriately in the goal, adjusting his positioning according to the game situation. He must then perform an aerial block, jumping decisively to intercept a ball in the air. It is essential to ensure good control during the jump, as well as a stable landing to avoid second attempts.

Front-end exit with ladder coordination:
The drill begins with the goalkeeper performing a front-end exit using a coordination ladder. The goalkeeper should advance with quick and precise steps, maintaining an active posture and looking straight ahead. This ladder exercise improves footwork and coordination, which are essential for quick actions in the penalty area.
Low Side Drop:
After completing the ladder, the goalkeeper executes a low drop to one side to make a ground save. The drop technique must be controlled, effectively covering the ball with the body, protecting it and preventing a possible rebound.
Repositioning and Low Block:
After falling, the goalkeeper quickly recovers and repositions himself in the goal to receive a ball. The teammate will send a low shot to which the goalkeeper must react quickly and make a low block, ensuring that the ball is well controlled.
Low throw-in:
Once the ball is under control, the goalkeeper will stand up and throw the ball low, directing it toward the coach, who will have moved to the wing to receive the pass. The throw-in should be precise and quick, mimicking a counterattack in a real-life game situation.

Cross and Aerial Block:
The drill begins with a cross from a teammate. The goalkeeper must react quickly, move out of position, and make an aerial block, ensuring they capture the ball at its highest point. It is essential that the goalkeeper maintain a firm stance in the air and land with control, protecting the ball.
Low throw-in:
After securing the aerial block, the goalkeeper will quickly recover and throw the ball low, accurately sending it to a teammate or the coach, simulating the start of a counterattack. The throw-in should be quick and aimed at the foot to facilitate reception.
Repositioning and Shot Stopping:
After the throw-in, the goalkeeper will quickly reposition themselves in front of the goal. The coach will then take a shot from the front, which the goalkeeper must respond to with a save, using the appropriate technique based on the trajectory and speed of the shot. The emphasis in this section is on repositioning speed and the ability to react to stop the shot.
