1 steps

A target zone marked with cones at medium distance. The goalkeeper distributes from hand or ground into the zone, with few reps and each one judged individually.

Exercise sequence

Coaching points

  • A clean, controlled contact — this is not the day to chase maximum distance, it is the day for precision.
  • Look at the target before contact, not during the motion.
  • Judge each rep on its own: if it misses the target, correct immediately before the next one, don’t stack errors.
  • Always finish the set with a clean distribution to the target.

Progressions

  1. Replace the fixed zone with a player moving to receive.
  2. Ask for the same pass with the non-dominant foot.

Regressions

  1. Bring the target zone closer.
  2. Allow a hand throw instead of a kick.
