okay im in i will write it in word to minimize spelling errors etc but i would nead someone to read it when im done
how long does every part have to be?
should i be discussing indoor in general or different drills? should the drills only be for gks or the whole team? or is it up to me what i want to write about?

[hot shot viks]

Ill be up for writing something!

I think forst of all we need a list of what we are going to write about   eg:

Basics
kicking
diving
awareness  ect

Indoor

drills

kit care
how to look after kit
new kit
etc.

I think once we have a list of what we want to write about, we can see what people want to write about/assign people to a topic!


what do you guys think?

i have made 3 drills that could be in the indoor section
these are not gk specific drills but they are good indoor drills wich can be good for keepers as well

1 one is a warm up drill

A start with the ball (green lines) and pass it to B who then pass it to C. A run (pink lines) to the p spot to recive the pass and pass it to C who have runned to get closer to the cirkle and who shoots


B runs to the cone (red cirkle) to recive pass from A who runs towards the cirkle and get the ball back from B then A either shoot or pass it to player C who have runned from the corner towards the post to make a deflection



last drill for tonight is a bit complicated and the rotation is supposed to mess up the other teams defence
A pass the ball to B, B pass to C then C transport the ball towards B and at the same time D runs toward Cs old position and recive the pass back from C then D can shoot or pass it back to C who have runned to the top of the cirkle and shoots


in all drills you follow the ball so A>B>C>D and from D and from D back to A

these are made by me tonight and might contrain errors and things that are unclear
if there is something wrong or something you dont understand tell me and i will correct it

things the keeper have to think about is that in the second drill you have to cover both the deflection and a shoot concentraate first on the shoot and if you see that the pleyer pass to the player by the post cover the post
in the last drill you have to cover the post and then try to cover the pass back to the top of the D

nice nic!

I think kit care is covered with the stuff that animals done!

[AndyGaut]

Hey all I'm coming up with a design of the page to give it a more professional look in a PDF (my job's doing training on it might aswell use the tools)

Will put on here today maybe tonight!

[The.Rampage.Rado]

What's going on here?! Is there gonna be manual or not?! 

[Duco]

If there will be a manual this program will be usefull to create and show drills:

And then on the left side: download.

[AndyGaut]

well yes but we need to figure out who's doing what!
I'll do the design i think doctor was gonna edit animal already has his stuff written up for his customers

[The.Rampage.Rado]

You're talking about something like Simon Mason's workshop or what?!
I'll be glad to be able to translate it in Bulgarian once it's done...

[Folmer]

Definately willing to help. There's some stuff on my site already , ready to use.
Also starting 15th of may I'm going to follow a GK-coach/trainer course. I'll be getting a lot of info and material there. It will need to be translated though.

Just l me know what still needs to be done and I'll see what I can do.

[Choatey]

It might be more effective to define the scope of the topics first (ie contents page). This way it makes it a lot easier to divide among those writing and a section can be done independantly of others. As section are completed they can be 'crossed off' the list.

A good start is in the Topics thread, but something that is complete would be ideal.

Having just written a final year engineering thesis, this proved an effective method to outline what work is to be done.

[Paragon]

Okey so it seems there's some overview needed. I guess it should cover this.

introduction: why do we write this(i know there are already a lot of documents but they are mostly based on more old styles of Goalkeeping).

Basic Positioning( shoulders above your knee's hands in front of you and on the balls of your foot).
Basic kicking,
How to aproach a ball generally when stopping it: i mean like moving forward instead of to sides
Keeping with your stick and gloves: look the ball in to stick and step forward with right leg.
Diving i'm not sure if you should train this. Some goalie's lack any talent in this at all and will never learn it. Should be there instinctively i guess. But maybe with enough drilling you can teach it anyone.

Drills and then paragraphs containing the drills beloning to the different aspects mentioned above?

Equipment and the maintenance of the Equipment: maybe a good overvieuw of the advantages and disadvantages of the different brands. And of course stuff that really shouldn't be done.

Mental tips: such as empty your head and just focus on the ball, never doubt and some other stuff like that.
There also should be a lot of graphics. clear pictures with a good explanation to the key points in stance and so on.

If we manage to cover all this i think the manual will be pretty good.
If you guys agree with this then you can start dividing who will write what parts.
