GOALIE LAND REACTION TIME




Player should kneel in front of a tall wall about 3 yards away, facing the wall. There will be a person throwing a ball, not to hard, around the goalie's body and hitting the wall. This person stands behind the kneeling goalie to throw the ball. When the ball bounces off the wall, the goalie tries to react in time to 'block' the ball from getting past her. Be careful not to throw the ball so it will bounce back in her face, but be sure to make sure the ball is at arms length. This drill can be made more difficult by throwing the ball harder, or moving the goalie closer to the wall.
