 Keeper Calls

 

Keep it simple.

Keep it short.

Be clear, be loud and be forceful.

 

Every call you make must be a command and must convey confidence.

            AWAY! – This lets everyone know that the GK is not coming for the ball.
 
            WALL!  TWO!  -  GK wants a wall with two defenders in it.
