GK Distribution Under Press — Find the Free Side
A goalkeeper-led build-up exercise where the goalkeeper must recognise pressure and distribute to the free side.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use the defensive third with one full goal. The goalkeeper has four short options and two opponents press. The group scores by playing through one of two target gates beyond the first pressure line.
Coaching Points
Scan before receiving the back pass; Invite pressure without delaying too long; Open body to both sides; Use the free player rather than forcing the planned side; Vary short, clipped and driven distribution
Progressions
- Add a third presser after the goalkeeper's first touch.
Regressions
