Play
Goal keeper starts sitting on ground with legs spread open
Server starts directly in front of the player on the ground
- Server bounces the ball between the goal keeper’s legs as high as possible.
- Goal keeper jumps up to retrieve the ball, returns it to the server, and immediately sits back on the ground.
- Count the number of repetitions goal keeper can do in 1 minute.
Notes
If possible, use two goal keepers and have them alternate a minute at a time.
This can also be done alone by having the goal keeper bounce the ball to himself.
