University of North Carolina Women's Soccer Goalkeeper Coach,
part of the UNC coaching staff for 10 NCAA Championship titles, national clinician for the U.S. Youth Soccer Association, member of the Olympic Development Program Staff
Chris Ducar invites you into training sessions with the goalkeepers of the North Carolina women's soccer program. Watch and learn from coach whose program is one of the country's best, year in and year out!
Effective Drills and Technical Skills
The instruction begins with warm-up activities that encourage proper position and focus. Coach Ducar then explains the concept of attacking goal keeping and also provides various drills that emphasize ball control, positioning, diving, defending breakaways, back passes, crosses, decision making and save techniques. Coach Ducar's instruction is accompanied by demonstrations from UNC goalkeepers. Give your keepers the tools necessary to stop breakaway shots as well as long-range shots that can be a rebound goal if not properly handled.
Ducar believes that keepers should work on making saves without gloves. These exercises provided in this DVD will teach your goalies how to get a better feel for the ball and how to improve their hand placement for solid, consistent saves.
Many of the drills in this DVD are done in progression, which allows keepers to build their skills one step at a time. Some of the drills are presented with multiple camera angles, giving a complete picture of the techniques used.
Practice Games
Add more fun and energy to your practices with competitive exercises that promote hard work and build confidence in making saves. These games help keepers achieve the best angle possible to close down on space and prevent the attacker from scoring. Help your athletes become better at reacting to ground passes, crosses and shots in the game segments. Your keepers will learn how to react to plays they might face in game situations.
Game Film
Coach Ducar wraps things up with film footage that highlights exercises used in live game situations! You'll gain a better understanding of how these drills are used and why it's important that goalkeepers practice these specific techniques daily.
Give your keepers the confidence they need to make great saves and provide excellent distribution to their teammates. Increase your chances of more clean shots with this exceptional goalkeeper training DVD.
