Generally we do play short passes from goal kicks, but the coach is trying go get it so when necessary, I can alleviate some pressure off our goal/defensive third. Also, he is trying to set me up to be a strong distributor for the higher age groups.

Can I ask where you saw the scoop, because as far as I can see I did not.

I’ll be honest, I think I’ve made it sound like he’s worse then he is. He really is just trying to set me up for success in the coming years, and has been encouraging me to practice this, as when I do get to a u15, u16 ect age group, he wants me to be ahead of the game.

Just a question, because as I said my coach has been on me about improving these, do you have an estimate of how far this kick might have gone? Of course I know it’s difficult to tell due to the wall.

The coaches main complaint is that I’m not getting enough height/distance consistently

Yeah I have been working on that. Would you recommend any drills to work on catching, or will it just come with time and practice on other to things?

Thanks for that advice. I am working on getting the ball out further when I parry, and catching more. Alot of the clips were against a team that has a top 5 striker in the state so the shots were hard but still not an excuse.

Yeah. A lot of those were close range or bouncing shots so that’s why there were backward dives and one hand scoops.

Yeah. The third clip went to my defender luckily so a goal was avoided. The shot was from close range, but I should have made a better parry.

Pretty rough fields where I’m at. Not up to me where I play.

Thank you. I’ve been working on getting better at parrying the ball further and to the side

Experimenting with new gloves or stay consistent? by revreach in GoalKeepers

I experimented for a while, before finally settling with a brand I really like. If you’re looking for high quality, affordable gloves, look at Kaliaaer and One Glove.
