In this Goalkeeper session, we aim to sharpen the concentration of our GK whilst performing different moves. There will be 4 different coloured cones arranged in a box, the coach will call out a colour, and the GK will have to either touch or go around that cone and then perform an action: - Short pass, Long pass, Mid-Height Catch, High Claim, Low Save, Half Volley.

In this Goalkeeper session, we aim to sharpen some of the essential tools for our GK. 1. Footwork into Handling (5 reps, 2 sets for both yellow and red) - Shuffle between the cone in any pattern you like, generating power and ensuring control over whole body actions, into a set and save. 2. Low Ball Recovery (5 reps, 3 sets) - Either on knees or standing, coach throws a ball to one side, GK catches, releases the ball and is down for a low shot on the other side. 3. Variety of Crosses (10 reps, 2-4 sets) - High crosses, driven crosses, awkward crosses, mishit crosses, cross-shots. Ensure high communication, claiming, decision-making, eyes on the ball, protect your body. 4. Hand-eye Co-ordination (8 reps, 2 sets) - GK to sit with hands just under his bum, throw a ball underhand towards them, and they must react in time to catch (build up the intensity). 5. Turn and Face (8 reps, 4 sets) - Cross comes in from one side, claim, release the ball and get set for a shot from central/half space.
