JUGS Sports Soccer Machine - Manual (Page 21)

Operation
2. Crosses and Corner Kicks
The JUGS Soccer Machine enables field players to place crosses accurately,
which makes it ideal for goalkeepers who want to practice catching in traffic
and boxing (punching).
Both inswingers and outswingers may practice with or without the
pressure of opposition or the aid of defenders.
The coach can build up the practice situation and increase the level
of opposition and difficultly accordingly. The placement of the machine
and nature of the cross can duplicate that of the next game’s opponent,
learned through scouting and properly prepare the team for that game
situation.
In boxing the ball to change its direction, one or two hands may be used
with the following principles in mind:
• Height
• Width
• Distance
• Accuracy
Boxing or immediately throwing a caught crossed ball to a designated
player or area would be the ultimate tool for turning the play into a quick
counterattacking situation.
