Golden Eaglets goalkeepers’ training on Wednesday became a theatre of fun as two dummies that appeared like masquerades were introduced by Coach Emeka Amadi.

Morakinyo Abodunrin, the team’s Media Officer, said the dummies, decked in black and white, were actually goalkeeper’s dummies to stimulate the players’ interest to ensure proper training.

“The goalkeeper’s dummy is nothing new because it is used in major top clubs and academies abroad; unfortunately, it is not yet a common feature here.

“The dummies are essential part of the training as it helps in sharpening reflexes and agility.

“The beauty of the goalkeeper’s dummy is that you can actually collide with it without getting injured unlike the plastic type that was in vogue in the past and which is prone to accident, ” Amadi said.

Benjamin Amos, one of the goalkeepers, said he was excited by the introduction of the dummies.

“Training today was very interesting.

“It was a new experience to all of us but we enjoyed every bit of it,” Amos said. (NAN)
