In this warmup activity, the goalkeepers do not only go through the regular dynamic warmup routine; they immediately start working with the ball as well. By adding a ball, the goalkeepers build a connection with it right away. It also raises focus on the upcoming work from the very start.

By adding an agility ladder, the warmup becomes even more complete. The goalkeeper works with the ball while performing dynamic warmup movements and agility exercises at the same time. This improves speed, coordination, and focus. After this warmup, the goalkeepers are ready to take on the rest of the session.

Repetition, repetition. The box setup ensures that the goalkeeper gets a turn every few seconds. When the group consists of four or more goalkeepers, they can also act as the feeder instead of the coach, passing, rolling, or throwing the ball to their fellow keeper. This adds extra focus and technical repetition of distribution skills.

The box setup remains the same; however, a second action is added for the goalkeeper. After, for example, catching a volley to the face, the goalkeeper must attack a second rolled or thrown ball. To make it more realistic, another goalkeeper can apply light pressure.

During a game, goalkeepers must perform several actions in quick succession. These multi-action activities are designed to train exactly that. After catching the ball, the goalkeeper immediately distributes it, followed by dealing with a shot. This realistic sequence is game-like and develops several key skills.

In this multi-action activity, the goalkeepers first deal with a high ball or cross, followed by rolling the ball accurately to a shooter. After making the save, the goalkeeper again distributes the ball—this time with an overhand throw into an empty goal.

In this activity, the goalkeeper must deal with a through ball and an incoming opponent. After intercepting the ball, the goalkeeper must distribute it accurately. This activity mirrors a game situation and develops key skills such as decision-making, footwork, positioning, running forward to intercept the ball, falling on the ball, distribution, and reaction speed.

The goalkeepers must also show courage under pressure from an incoming opponent.

Team activities like these give goalkeepers the opportunity to develop multiple skills while gaining valuable game-like experience. They must approach these activities exactly as they would a game: play to win, constantly communicate with teammates, and perform every action with focus and intensity.

Coaches should demand this mindset while ensuring that the goalkeepers receive the specific coaching, attention, and feedback they need.

In this team build-up activity, the goalkeeper needs to be constantly involved, just like a field player. They must communicate clearly, demand the ball, receive the ball with the correct foot, open their body properly, pass accurately, and help the team maintain possession.

This activity develops confidence and composure in build-up play, helping the goalkeeper grow into a modern goalplayer.

This small-sided game demands a great deal from the goalkeepers. They must constantly switch between attacking and defensive mindsets, along with all the actions and skills that come with it: communication, distribution with hands and feet, dealing with shots, focus, fitness, and competitiveness.

It closely reflects the intensity and unpredictability of a real match, challenging the goalkeeper to stay switched on and involved at all times.
