Types of Goalkeer Distributions
Today we will identify 7 different types of distribution the advanced goalkeeper should have in their arsenal. Three of these will deal with using the hands / arms to distribute the ball. The remaining four utilizing the foot / leg to distribute the ball. Regardless of the type of distribution utilized it should be employed as a pass to the extent possible. Remember, the goalkeeper is often the first attacker and as such is responsible for maintaining possession and starting the attack.
Distributions using the arms
The
Underhand Bowl
Used to move the
ball along the ground to a teammate in close proximity to the GK.
There should be no opponents in the
close vicinity especially between the GK and intended target
Pass is made across the body of the
receiver to his “back foot” or foot furthest from the GKer.
Point, Step, Roll
Over emphasize these 3 steps as a
means to “sell” your competency and the fact you are in charge of your
environment, t he PA
The Baseball Throw
Also referred to
as the GKer push pass.
A throw for
intermediate distances
There can be no opponents between GKer
and target as this pass remains low to the ground as does not have great pace.
Pass is made to near space in front of
the target
Point, Step, Throw
Over emphasize these 3 steps as a
means to sell your competency and the fact you are in charge of your
environment, the PA
The Overhand Throw
This throw
provides greater height and distance.
Six to 8 feet
high
This pass is
made preferably to near space in front of the target but can be made to feet.
Can defeat
multiple opponents at one time.
Preferred method
to begin quick counter attack.

environment, the PA
The
push pass
Toes up and heel
down. Strike on the ankle bone. Punch the
ball and follow through.
This pass can be used when playing
pass backs or as a short pass on restarts like goal kicks and free kicks.
The Punt
The toes of the
plant foot will determine the direction of the punt.
The ball is DROPPED
onto the kicking foot. DO NOT TOSS THE
BALL UP.
The foot is kept
within the width of the hips with toes fully extended
The follow
through should lift the plant foot off the ground
The ideal punt
will have very little spin with what spin exists being slightly backwards.
When punting teammates should be
positioned in the anticipation area to play the “second ball”. This is true
whether the goal keeper targets a teammate or has chosen to gain field position
with his punt.
The anticipation area may be in front
of or behind the player gaining first touch on the ball generally at 45 degree
angles.
The Drop Kick
The ball is dropped to the ground by a
crouching GK and as the ball bounces up is struck with the kicking foot
There is less height involved than
with a punt making the drop kick easier to control for receiving teammates.
It is more difficult to execute and to
control accuracy with a drop kick. It requires a lot of practice but it can result
in a driven ball to start a counter attack or play a forward through.
The Goal Kick
It is advantageous of the GK to take
the goal kick as it allows all the field players to position to play the ball or
defend
The toes of the plant foot should be
pointed in the direction the ball is to go. It should also be relatively close
to the ball in order to keep the kicking foot in line with the hips and knees
of the kicking leg.
There is an angled approach to the
ball
The ball is struck with the toes
extended and pointed down locking the ankle in place.
The follow through should bring the
plant foot off the ground.
The GKer should land on the kicking
foot.
The goal kick usually has decent
height and distance. It often results in
creating a 50 / 50 ball necessitating attention to the anticipation ala the
punt.
