Football and goalkeeper drills with animated diagrams, created by coaches.
12 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.
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.
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.
1v1 situations where the striker receives a pass from the edge of the box and attacks the keeper, who must read when to engage and block.
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.
Match-realistic goalkeeper drill: a pass in behind the defensive line, a striker's run and the goalkeeper's decision to come out, win the loose ball and distribute quickly.
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.
Goalkeeper distribution drill: after receiving from the coach, a quick overarm throw to the near flank and a long volley into a marked zone deep in the pitch.
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.
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.
Extension dives to mid-height and high balls away from the body, with a power step and safe landing technique, alternating both sides.
Technical work on the collapse dive for low balls close to the body, alternating sides with a quick recovery back into the set position.
