Our Japanese friends and partners of the Hiroshima Buena Vista Hockey Club always bring fun and creativity to the table. In the past they have mainly focused on creative drills for field players, however it seems that they are now putting an attention to the goalkeepers. They came out with this drill where they placed several deflection ramps around the goalie which forces him to react with almost now time. The end result is so much fun!

ARQ28 is another source of creative drills for goalies. This goalie school is from Argentina and is directed by Ignacio Ledesma, goalkeeping coach of the Argentinean men’s team, 2016 Olympic Champions. In this drill we can see a young goalkeeper who has to keep the balloons in the air. This is good to develop the body balance and the eye-hand coordination. Like ARQ28 on Facebook for more!
