Objective

React quickly to a goalkeeper save and finish the rebound.

Equipment

  • Balls
  • Goal

Instructions

  1. 1

    Shooter strikes from 18 yards. A goalkeeper saves (or the ball hits the post).

  2. 2

    A second attacker positioned 8 yards out reacts to the rebound and finishes.

  3. 3

    Rotate shooter, rebound attacker, and goalkeeper every 5 reps.

Coaching Points

  • Rebound attacker must be on their toes, not standing flat-footed.
  • React to where the keeper is — finish to the open side of the goal.
  • First touch in on target — no second guessing.

Variations

  • Add a defender who also chases the rebound.
