Fundamentals

There is be a big focus on distribution as the modern goalkeeper must be just as good with their feet as outfield players. As goalkeepers, we are expected to be heavily involved with buildup play and to be the first line of attack. Our goal is to have the goalkeepers coming away from training with a better understanding of goalkeeping, the technical aspects of the game, all while instilling a professional and passionate mentality. Training will be the place to become a more confident goalkeeper.

We will do this by creating a training program that will cover all of these key fundamentals:

  • Handling Technique

  • Diving Technique

  • Scoop Technique

  • Proper Set Position

  • Dealing with 1v1 Scenarios

  • Dealing with Set Pieces and Crosses

  • Proper Footwork

  • Angles in the net

  • Reaction Time

  • Goalkeeper Fitness

  • Distribution
