Overview


General Introduction On January 11, 1941, the organization known as the National Soccer Coaches Association had its rst meeting. From a small group o college coaches who met at that time, the NSCAA has grown to include all levels o men’s and women’s soccer, including youth, high school, junior college, college and proessional coaches, as well as reerees, administrators and other individuals interested in the growth o soccer in the United States. With more than 30,000 active members, the NSCAA is currently the largest single-sport coaching association in the world. Te nature and purpose o the Association is to educate, provide services, and promote and stimulate interest in the game o soccer. With this in mind, the NSCAA Coaching Academy Program was established to urther these ideas and to meet the growing needs o our membership to learn more about the game o soccer. Te philosophical oundation or all levels is to improve the development o soccer by creating a learning environment which will enhance the individual’s experience and enjoyment o the game. Te Coaching Academy Program is a comprehensive educational program. We hope to reach coaches on all dierent levels rom youth recreational to advanced and proessional coaches. We anticipate that the dierent programs we oer will evolve as the needs o coaches change and evolve. Any individual completing a diploma course through the NSCAA Coaching Academy will become a more eective coach by understanding the need to organize appropriate material and inormation or the various ability, experience and age levels o the individuals they coach. -- The NSCAA Education Committee

Course Introduction iscourseisvitalbecausemostcoachesdonotfullyunderstandthetechniquesandtacticsofthegoalkeeperpositionand are even less comortable designing training sessions and actively coaching their goalkeepers. Te NSCAA’s goal in this course is to give the team coach the condence and the ammunition to successully train and developtheirgoalkeepers.Mypersonalcoachingphilosophyistochallengeandtoguidetosuccess.isinitselfbuildsselfesteem and sel-condence and there exists a direct relationship between sel condence and perormance. Te NSCAA also believes in simpliying the goalkeeper position. Provide specic and simple guidelines or both the coach andthegoalkeepertounderstandtheposition.Ihaveseentoomanycoachesusethe“paralysisbyanalysis”coachingmethodology and it does not work with your goalkeeper. Every exercise needs to be compatible with developing the mental skills o your keeper. A condent but limited goalkeeper is almost always better than a multi-skilled goalkeeper who is unsure o themselves and lacking in condence.

Withthisinmind,weidentifyfourwaysofhandlingintheGoalkeepingLevelIDiploma.Everyballcomingtoakeeperis handled in one o our ways, again simpliy and make it easy to coach and easy or a keeper to sel-coach. Tere is no doubt in my mind that the NSCAA Goalkeeping Academy and the diplomas earned are worthwhile and important coaching educational opportunities. So, enjoy the courses and the community atmosphere, the interaction with instructors and other candidates that the NSCAA Coaching Schools are known or. -- Tony DiCicco Director, NSCAA Goalkeeping Academy

Age Considerations Under 10 Years Old All players should experience all positions including the goalkeeper position. All players should have an opportunity over the course o the season learn some o the basics o handling; moving in goal and positioning. All players, most importantly, should develop as soccer players.

Areasofconcentrationforkeepercoaching: 1. Te our basic handling positions 2.Basicpositioningconcepts 3.Basicandsafedistribution(kicksandthrows)toteammatesforpossessionandtobegintheattack 4.Balance/Coordinationexercises(overallaswell,notsolelygoalkeeper-specicexercises)withorwithouttheball.

11-14 Years Old Players should still play a multiple o positions and a number o dierent players serve as goalkeepers. Tere should be no ull time goalkeepers at the early ages in this group. As the players mature through these age groups, they will evolve into playing certain positions and ewer players are used as goalkeepers.

Areasofconcentrationforkeepercoaching: 1. Shot handling and diving to save 2. Handling the breakaway situation. 3. Understand their role as a back pass option to maintain possession or relieve pressure 4. Ability to communicate and organize their deensive players 5.Speed/Power/Footwork/CoreStrength

15 Years And Older - Youth Players now oten are put into specialized positions including the goalkeeper. However, at this stage the goalkeeper must also be a competent and comortable outeld player.

Areasofconcentrationforkeepercoaching: 1. Advanced shot stopping – including collapse and extension dive saves 2.Commandingthepenaltyareaandbeyond(supportingthebackdefenders) 3.

Basic Handling 1 Set Position (Starting Stance) Key Points · Te goalkeeper’s weight should be orward in a balanced position on the balls o their eet. Head is relaxed but still. · Feet should be about shoulder width apart. · Te goalkeeper must bend at both the knees and waist. Tey cannot be standing straight up – this makes it hard to save low balls. · Hands are out in ront o the goalkeeper with their palms acing diagonally down and palms slightly towards each other. Tis is where the goalkeeper’s hands are strongest and can react the easiest to any ball played at the goalkeeper, high or low. · Elbows slightly in ront o trunk. · Te goalkeeper must get set beore the ball is struck.

Set Position

Basket Catch Tis orm o handling is or a ball driven mid–trunk height or lower. Key Points · Hands and arms parallel · Te goalkeeper’s ngers point towards the ground · Te goalkeeper’s eet are in a split stance. Te goalkeeper is more balanced and stronger in this position to deal with a low driven ball. · Te goalkeeper should get their body behind the ball. · Te goalkeeper should not go down on their knees. · Te ball is brought into the body to secure it. ·ebasketisformedbytheupperbody(exedatwaist;thearmsandthehands)

Contour Catch Te contour catch is or a ball driven around chest to head height. Key Points · Hands are together and the ngers are pointed up. · Te hands should orm the shape o the ball. · Te goalkeeper should catch the back and top hal o the ball. Tis prevents the ball rom going behind the goalkeeper. · Te goalkeeper’s elbows should be bent and hands out in ront o them. Tis will allow the goalkeepers arms to act like shocks and take the orce out o the ball. · Te ball must be caught in ront o the goalkeeper, not close to their body. Tey can not cushion the shot i their hands are too close to their body. Te hands are the strongest in ront o the goalkeeper’s body. · Playing a high piano Field Session

Crossover Te goalkeeper should use the crossover step to travel a greater distance across the goal. Te goalkeeper should only cross over their eet in ront never behind.

Drop step Drop step is used or crossed balls and balls played towards the crossbar. Te key to this is that the goalkeeper steps backwards with one o their eet but always keeping their eyes up the eld. Tis kind o ootwork is aster then a back pedal and the goalkeeper remains more balanced to react to a high ball in this position.

Warm Up Goalkeepers are shufing throughout an area appropriate to the number o goalkeepers that are training. Soccer balls are on the ground throughout the area. Te coach will rst demonstrate and then get the players to repeat. Progressions 1. Players do movements throughout the grid, changing direction and avoiding the soccer balls. A. Jogging B.Shuing C. Skipping 2.DeadBall A. Goalkeepers are shufing around.

Goalkeepers now shufing around a ball in their hands. On the coaches command they bowl the ball couple o yards in ront o them. Te goalkeeper must then run around the ball and save through it using the basket scoop technique.Makesurethegoalkeeperissavingwithbodyweightforwardofthecenterofgravity.

Now goalkeepers continue to shufe but every third shufe bounce, contour catch and then shufe away in a dierent direction. *With all saves the goalkeeper should be saving with orward momentum. Tis is an example o a warm up, it is just one o many possibilities.

Basic Handling 2 Collapse Dive 1. Te goalkeeper takes a orward attacking step perpendicular to the ight o the ball.Ifthegoalkeeperstepsdirectlyforward,itwillcausethegoalkeepertodive backwards. Tis step should allow the goalkeeper to save the ball with orward momentum. No step will make it hard or the goalkeeper to save with orward momentum and also cause the goalkeeper to land hard. 2. Te goalkeeper steps towards the ball and their hands go straight to the ball. 3. Te hands should be in a side contour position. 4. Te ball is then taken to the ground. Te ball should be the rst thing that hits the ground and then the body ollows behind by exing at the knee and lowering themselves to the ground. Also lean orward with your chest and trunk.

Collapse Dive

5. Te goalkeeper should tuck their elbows in when they go to the ground and also make sure the elbows are relaxed and in ront o the chest.

Parrying etechniqueofparryingisusedwhenthegoalkeepercannotcatchtheballinan extended diving position. Tere is the two hand parry and the one hand parry. o parry the ball the goalkeeper should make a strong solid surace by extending their ngers. One Hand Parry Te determining actors when deciding which hand to use are the height o the ballandthepace.Iftheballisdrivenhightheupperhandisusediftheballis driven low the lower hand is used. ypically it is the hand that can stretch the urthest.

Parrying

wo Hand Parry Tis is used when a ball is driven to hard to catch and the goalkeeper just wants to get it out o danger wide o the goal. Te goalkeeper should just keep their hands together and save through the ball.

Positioning/Communication Ball Line Tis is an imaginary line that is drawn rom the center o the goal to the ball. Tis is the basic initial positioning or all goalkeepers.

Angle Arc Tis imaginary arc starts just out side the post and peaks at the center o the six yard box. Te angle arc provides guidelines to how ar a goalkeeper can come out to close a shot when a shot is taken at or inside the penalty area.

II. General Nutrition Competitors in stop-and-go team sports like soccer understand the importance o speed, agility, and power. Tese athletes alsoneedtoknowthatnutritionandhydrationwillhelpfueltheirteamtovictory.Belowaresomepointerstohelpkeep yoursoccerplayersperformingattheirbest.YoushouldalsotakealookattheUSDA’snewfoodpyramidforhealthy nutrition guidelines. A. Pre-Workout Fuel Athletes should uel their bodies 2 to 3 hours beore practices and games with a high-carbohydrate meal or snack. Tis will give the body additional energy to help make it through the workout or game.

B.Tips: 1. eam leaders can organize pre-game meals or the whole team, including high-energy oods like breads, cereals, pasta,rice,fruits,andvegetables–aswellasleansourcesofprotein.Athletesshouldll2/3oftheirplatewithhighcarbohydrate options. 2.Beforeexercise,playersshouldeatfoodstheyknowworkwellforthem.Avoidfoodshighinfat,berorprotein just beore training or competition. Tey slow down absorption and can cause stomach upset. 3. Athletes should replace the sodium lost in sweat – especially or heavy crampers. Athletes can do this by regularly salting their ood, eating some salty snacks like pretzels, crackers, and soups and avoring sports drinks, like Gatorade, over water during training and games. C. Post-Workout Fuel Athletescanburnupmuscleenergystores(carbohydratestores)duringatoughworkout.Soit’simportantthatathletes replenish muscle energy stores by choosing carbohydrate-rich oods within 30 minutes ater a practice or game and again within two hours. Tey may also have snacks like cereal mixed with peanuts and raisins, an energy bar, and a properly ormulated sports drink, like Gatorade, to help reuel ast. D. Easy Access to Snacks Manyyoungerathletes/soccerplayersrunfromschooldirectlytopracticesorgamesandhavenotimetostopfora high-energy snack to boost energy or perormance. o stay ueled, athletes should keep healthy snacks accessible in their backpacks, lockers and coolers.

III. Energy For Tournaments Tournamentspresentuniqueopportunitiesandchallengesfortheindividualsoccerplayerandtheteamasawhole.One ofthemostimportantchallengesissupplyingadequateuidandfoodtofueltheathleteparticipatinginmultiplematches throughout the tournament period. What makes the challenge especially complex is the two-old nature o the dilemma, that o supply and demand. A. Demand or Energy A single soccer match may deplete most o a player’s uid and nutrition reserves. During a tournament, matches may beascloseasanhourapart,leavinglittletimetorebuildfuelstores.Consequently,fatiguesetsinsooner;speed,skills, accuracyandconcentrationarecompromised,andtheriskofdehydrationincreases.Inwarmenvironments,thedegree o dehydration and its associated dangers are even higher.

Fast-ood restaurants may beanoptionbutcarefulselectionisnecessarytoensureadequateamountsofcarbohydrates.Whenpossible,the best bet is to bring a supply o “sport-riendly” oods and beverages to the tournament. Even when traveling ar rom home, there are some simple tips or ensuring a supply o portable oods and uids that meet the high-energy demandsofsoccertournaments.Someexamplesinclude:bagels,cereal,sportsdrinks,high-carbohydrateherb-free energy drinks, ruit, and energy bars.
