How It Works
Choose one of the 21 scenarios.
Look at the goalkeeper, ball and players.
Choose an option and explain why.
Turn the card over and explore the strongest decision.
The best answer depends on the situation.
Goalkeepers cannot always stay on their line or always come for the ball.
The strongest decision depends on the position of the ball, the movement of the players and what could happen next.
Each card explains the strongest option while encouraging players to discuss when another decision might work.
“I would move towards the ball because the attacker has taken a heavy touch and I can reach it first.”
“If the attacker had kept the ball closer, staying back and delaying the shot might be safer.”
Perfect For
