| Channel Games for Goalkeepers |
From the January 17, 2007, issue of The Technical Area

Purpose: To practice positioning on flighted balls.
Procedure: Two neutral players are the only players allowed in the channels (see drill animation). Two teams play in the central channel. The neutral players play the ball to whichever team plays them the ball. They might have limited time or touches. To encourage crossing, additional points may be awarded for scoring off a crossed ball from a neutral player
Coaching Points: Focus on goalkeepers correctly positioning for the cross (off the ball line), fielding crossed balls, and quickly adjusting to a change in position (off the ball line for a cross to on the ball line to stop a shot).
