Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Mark a small court with a central net line or cone line. Goalkeepers work on opposite sides. One goalkeeper serves by throwing or volleying the ball over the line and the opponent must control, catch or redirect it back according to the chosen rule set.
Coaching Points
Set early and stay balanced; track the ball all the way; use soft hands; move feet before reaching; recover quickly after each action.
Progressions
- Reduce the court size, allow one bounce only, or vary the service height and speed.
Regressions
- Increase the court size and allow an extra bounce or catch before returning.
