Football and goalkeeper drills with animated diagrams, created by coaches.
16 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.
Goalkeeper movement circuit: lateral zigzag between poles, a diagonal shuffle back to the set position and a save from a low strike by the coach.
Goalkeeper footwork drill: directional first touch and a short pass to a free team-mate while a striker presses the first line of the build-up.
Balls struck into a rebounder placed 5 m from the keeper to create unpredictable trajectories and train reaction speed and fast hands.
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.
1v1 duels in 15x8 m channels with two mini goals: the defender passes to the attacker and closes down immediately, steering them towards the side to win the ball. Individual defending technique.
Two adjacent 10x10 m squares. Five possession players against two pressers; after eight passes the ball is switched to the other square and the two pressers must sprint across. Works possession under pressure and the transition after losing the ball.
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.
Ball circulation around the four sides of a square, following the pass while performing a mobility movement on each leg. Combines passing technique with activation without stopping.
Progressive warm-up in pairs: passing combined with dynamic mobility, controls with lateral movement and a final activation with short sprints to a central cone.
4v4 small-sided game in 35x25 m in which each team defends two mini goals. Forces players to switch play, read the free goal and defend as a compact unit.
12x12 m square passing circuit focused on taking the first touch towards the next pass. Ideal for automating control with the far foot and fast ball circulation.
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.
Crosses from the byline at different heights and distances with live attackers; on every ball the keeper decides whether to come and claim or stay on the line to face the finish.
Technical work on the collapse dive for low balls close to the body, alternating sides with a quick recovery back into the set position.
