The Goalkeeping Can Play Too

Organisation
  • Players line up in 2 lines facing each other approximately 20 yards apart, with a goalkeeper in each line.
  • Cones are placed on the end lines to act as goals.
  • While the rest of the players pass and follow the ball to the back of the line, the goalkeepers field the ball with their hands before rolling it to the feet of the next player from the opposite side and then following across.
  • In this way the keeprer can join in a normal drill actively and practise his specific techniques, while other players practise their own particular skills.

Variations
  1. The Coach can ask players to try to push the ball past the goalkeeper to score in the goals. The Goalkeeper attempts to dive and save the ball each time.
  2. The Coach can dirct players to give specific practise to the Keepers, e.g. play the ball high in the air for the Keepers to catch ,drive the ball hard at his chest, or attempt to dribble the ball around the Keeper.
