The goalkeeper should be working in an arc shape around the goal so that the size of the angle is proportional to the distance the goalkeeper has to come down the line. The whole point of positioning is to reduce the amount of goal shown to the shooter so that if he is in a wide position his view of the goal is already diminished. The experienced keeper will narrow the angle quickly by cutting the digonal, gliding into line and up the line in one movement (Alex Welsh (1998) The Goalkeepers Handbook A&C Black).

Shooting Zones

Four zones-call a number and they shoot.The Goalkeeper starts in the middle of his goal. Work on down the line and set. Goalkeeper should not be beaten at the near post. Work both sides of the goal.

Turn and Save

Goalkeeper starts facing his goal. Coach shouts turn,he or other player takes one touch out of his feet and shoots. If just Coach and Keeper vary your position. Give the Keeper a chance. Look for Keeper getting into line and set.

Shooting Gallery

Number the players according to how many you have,here 1-9. Call a number and they must get the ball from out of there feet and shoot. They should be an appropriate distance away, always give the keeper a chance before calling the next number. You can also get players to keep their number but go to a different position.
