Frequently asked questions
How is a goalkeeper training session structured?
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.
