Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

GK 1v1: Narrowing the Angle

Read and win the 1v1. Start the ready position on the line, time the rush to narrow the angle as the attacker takes his touch, stay big, and block the shot before smothering the rebound.

Setup & instructions

A server slides a through ball for an attacker to run onto in a 1v1. The keeper starts set on the line, reads the trigger (the attacker's heavy touch), and rushes out to narrow the angle. Stay big, make the block, and smother the rebound. Do not dive early or go to ground too soon. Rotate server, attacker, and keeper, and vary the angle of the through ball.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Set on the line, then read the trigger before you commit
  • Come out fast to narrow the angle, then settle to make the save
  • Stay big and tall as long as possible, force the attacker to decide
  • Time it: out too early is chipped, too late leaves the angle open
  • Make the block, then smother the rebound and protect the ball

Common mistakes

  • Rushing out too early and getting chipped or rounded
  • Going to ground too soon, opening the angle
  • Getting small and narrow instead of big and tall
  • Parrying into danger instead of smothering the rebound

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Vary the angle so the keeper adjusts his starting position
  • Add a second attacker so the keeper must also read the pass
  • Serve to the attacker's feet so he can shoot early

Regressions

  • Attacker runs at a set pace to groove the timing of the rush
  • Start the keeper closer to shorten the decision
  • Walk the trigger and the set position before adding pace
