To stimulate the proprioceptivity for the superior limbs we thought of exercises using soccer balls of same shape, same colour, but of different weight (Soccer System):

Goalkeeper Training
At the superior limbs level, the balls of different weight not recognised by goal keeper in form and colour obliges him to adjust not only the force that derives, let’s say, from the impact of the ball to the hands, but also adjust the time factor (timing), in the sense that a light ball arrives much sooner than a heavier one, therefore, the goal keeper has to adapt also in terms of right timing, the proper action, and try to arrive at the ball in the right way and time. So, we searched for the exercise to take advantage of wall workout just for this reason, that is, the objective is for the goal keeper to learn how to adjust his timing to that of the ball which changes action constantly because the weight changes.
At the operative proposal level, it is important to the goal keeper not to recognise the ball arriving towards him and often the fact of observing the position of the ball helps to recognise a light ball or a heavy one, this is why the idea of wall work avoids the goal keeper seeing the departure of the arriving ball and also in the matter of proprioceptivity . We try to work by proposing the ball stimulus in this sense, let’s say, as in kicking or throwing the ball 3 times after which, the ball is changed. So, the first operative proposal that we do is the wall work, to speed the action of the superior limbs and catching the ball, as well as the ball adjustment of the catching movement and the speed.
The soccer balls we use, as stated earlier, are obviously the same shape and colour but of different weights that is, we utilise ball of 200-300-400-600-800 and 1000 gr. See the Soccer System Kit.
