Goalkeeper Training

For goalkeeper training, keep it simple, focused and intense. Work your keepers at a level which is actually more difficult than games. This means more saves, actions and movements in a short space of time.

You don’t need to bother with slalom cone drills; no keeper needs to dodge through cones before making a save. Simply focus on the actions that a keeper would make most often during a game. Examples are below:

1. Dealing with crosses
2. Shot stopping
3. Passing and control with feet
4. Striking from the ground and out of hands

By focusing on the situations keepers experience most often in games, you are preparing your keepers in a way that will give them confidence and competence when it comes to game-time.

Have fun!
