Goalkeeper training drills
Goalkeepers need their own programme. Set position, handling and footwork are the foundation; angles, crosses and distribution are what get you selected once the basics are secure.
These sessions are structured so you can run them with a single server, and most of the handling and footwork blocks work entirely alone against a wall.

Common questions
- How often should a goalkeeper do handling work?
- Daily if you can, even for ten minutes. Handling is a touch skill and it degrades quickly without contact with the ball.
- What should a young goalkeeper focus on first?
- Set position and footwork. Almost every mishandled shot at youth level traces back to being late or off balance rather than to the hands.
