Goalkeepers should be in a start position in relation to ball. Be alert and ready Encourage goalkeepers move their feet get in the line of the shot and watch the ball It’s important that goalkeepers get at least two surfaces behind the ball.

As one of the most important players on the pitch, goalkeepers should where possible receive specialist training. Not every football coach understands how to coach goalkeepers. To assist coaches in training goalkeepers we have designed specialist goalkeeper training drills to help you develop and coach the fundamental goalkeeping skills.

Goalkeepers need to be comfortable and composed with the ball at their feet; they also need agility, anticipation, bravery, technique, strength. Goalkeepers also need to remain focused and concentrating and should have good communication skills.

The position of goalkeeper is that of a 'specialist technician' and is arguably the most important position on the pitch; therefore, a great deal of work on individual goalkeeping techniques is required to reach a competent standard.

Many people think that goalkeepers are a special breed and a little bit crazy, which is probably true. They are very different than outfield players and do need specialized goalkeeping training.

Goalkeeper coaches should look to make goalkeeping training sessions a high tempo with plenty of explosive and powerful movements. It is important that the goalkeeper practices the technique at a speed that simulates match play. Slow goalkeeping practices will develop slow goalkeepers and up-tempo practices will develop fast and explosive goalkeepers. Never sacrifice quality for speed when practicing goalkeeping techniques.
