Complete goalkeeper training organised by technical and tactical objective: catching, collapse dives, diving, reflexes, footwork, aerial play, crosses, 1v1, coming out and playing with the feet. Each drill states the number of keepers, the equipment and the recommended repetitions.
Progressive 12-minute routine in goalkeeper pairs: hand passes, mid-height catches on the move, lateral footwork between cones and gentle volleys. Prepares hands, shoulders and legs before the specific work.
Reflex and hand-eye work with tennis balls thrown from short range, progressing to catching a football right after the tennis ball. Simple, fun and very effective.
Coordination circuit for young goalkeepers: quick feet through the ladder, a diagonal sprint to the goal and a clean reception of a ball from the coach.
Three attackers with a ball in different positions: the goalkeeper adjusts to the bisecting line and narrows the angle before each shot on the coach's call.
A typical session starts with a hand and footwork warm-up, continues with a technical block (catching, collapse or diving), adds a tactical or decision block (1v1, crosses, coming out) and finishes with match situations.
How many goalkeepers do I need for these drills?
Most work with one or two keepers and a coach serving. Each page states the number of keepers and whether an outfield player is needed to finish.
Are there goalkeeper drills for kids?
Yes. Filter by age to see introductory drills focused on the set position, safe catching, fearless collapse dives and coordination with balls of different sizes.
