Hi James,

I hope you are well.

Here is a home made video on the basics of passing, this breaks up the technique of passing from the ground. Please note this was created for technical content and not practice design. Have a look at this video for how to include goalkeepers within your practice for practice design tips.

Here are a few considerations; 

1. Developing skilful players involves participating in practices including opposition, direction, goals/targets and penetration. The more of these types of practices the easier the transfer is for matchday.

2. At times it can be appropriate to spend some time practicing towards the left hand side of the practice spectrum (practice spectrum video here). However consider if this is needed and how much time you would spend in this area without losing player engagement. 

3. Age and stage of the players development is a huge consideration. The fly kick is a difficult technique and considering your format of football, consider how often goalkeepers are required to use it. Additionally youth goalkeepers will still be developing their balance and co-ordination skills and the level of challenge should align to this. Also, players and coaches can have a desire for distance when distributing the ball, consider what is the appropriate distance for the players age and stage of development (have they developed the strength for long distance kicking) and as  referenced start small, and be patient in building up.

I hope this is of help and good luck to you and your daughter.
