Don’t let the simplicity of the diagram fool you. Tracking the #9 is a simple and outstanding activity to try with your GKs. All you need is a group of balls and three different colored cones or bibs. This will help your GK become comfortable with an aggressive starting position outside the 18 yard box, force them to manage off the ball by picking up the speed and movement of the pressure (tracking the color of the cones), and ultimately making the right choice of how and where to distribute. Depending on the age ability level of your GK you can add certain demands like adding pressuring forwards, playing bouncing balls back, asking them to use their chest and head etc. Dedicate 20 minutes twice a week and over the course of a season you will see great improvement. #TechnicalTuesday #SoccerSpecific #neacademyleague
