13 drills
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.
Classic four-versus-two rondo in an 8x8 m square with a maximum of two touches. Works circulation speed, constant support and the coordinated pressing of the two defenders.
Diamond passing pattern in which the ball reaches the third man through a support touch and a first-time lay-off. Develops timing, pass weight and support movement.
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.
Alternating waves from two sides: the player receives with their back to goal, takes a directional first touch past a mannequin and finishes from the edge of the box. High volume of shots with both feet.
Activation circuit in two parallel stations: agility ladder, low hurdle jumps and a slalom between poles, finishing with a wall pass and a pass to the next team-mate.
Chasing game where everyone dribbles a ball: two taggers in bibs try to touch the others, who escape by dribbling away. The most fun way to start with young kids.
Dribbling circuit through a line of cones with changes of direction and a final sprint. Works ball control with both feet, head up and change of pace.
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.
The centre-back plays a back pass and a striker presses the reception: the goalkeeper takes a directional touch and chooses between the free centre-back and the far full-back.
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.
Aerial balls served by the coach into the six-yard box with two attackers occupying the space passively; the keeper comes out, jumps and catches at the highest point.
Technical work on the collapse dive for low balls close to the body, alternating sides with a quick recovery back into the set position.
