Well, I'm a GoalKeeper, and I was wondering if there's a machine that shoots balls so that I could practice on my own time. Anything like this exist?

you need a a mate to take shots at you. One's that play as a striker or attacking midfielder would be preferable.HaiBai wrote:

And make sure he can at least play the game to at least a competant level.
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
Yeah I do this a lot as well, but there are a lot of times where there's nobody available and I just want to practice.m3thod wrote:

what i used to do as a kid was wander into the local park and ask if i could play with anybody there. 99% they were a player short so on i came. Just offering to play was usually good enough.HaiBai wrote:

See if you can't find a wall, where there's grass too.
Now, stand X meters away from the wall, with the ball in your hand.
Throw the ball against the wall, catch it when it bounces back.

We have practice, but most practices we don't use the goalkeepers. That's why I wanted to practice on my own time to get better.
They have baseball pitchers, why not the same for soccer?
Put the football away and get the tennis balls out. Get ya mate to serve at you or just hit tennis balls your way.HaiBai wrote:

Stand close to a wall and throw ball with left hand, catch with right and vice versa. (Eye hand co-ordination)
Stand with ya back to your mate and on your signal you turn and he shoots.
Play a game with two goals you have to defend (if able)
Best advice I can give though is 'Tennis Balls', then when you play with a football you'll pick it up much easier (your eyes will).
well, it turns out you guys lied to me:
