Ball may be dropped with either hand or both, although if possible dropping with the opposite hand isideal (increases power due to greater involvement of the trunk and hip in the kicking movement). Keeper needsto find their own rhythm regarding the number of steps taken into the ball and the timing of dropping the ball.Key points:• Ball is dropped out of the hand(s) with control slightly in front of the body and plant foot;• Kicking foot should maintain a toe down orientation with ankle locked;• Ball is struck just after it has reached the ground with the foot moving directly through the ball in thedirection of the target;• Power is ultimately derived from the trunk, hip, and leg – the follow through should be in accord with thisprincipal.VolleyUsed for longer distribution to outplay as many of the opposing players as possible when time of flight is not anissue. Again, the ball may be dropped with either or both hands, with the keeper being sure to drop the ball ina controlled fashion – the ball should not go up to come down. The GK should again be encouraged to find theirown rhythm regarding steps into the ball.Key points:• Consistency in technique;• Kicking foot should remain locked with toe down;• GK may strike the ball straight forward, or at any angle – importance must be placed on movement throughthe ball as this ultimately determines the target being reached;• Power is ultimately derived from the trunk, hip, and leg – the follow through should be in accord with thisprincipal.Appendix A – Additional Topics99
