Goalkeeper Session Week 2 – Footwork

Footwork is an integral part of the goalkeeping position, it can be the difference in making the save or not. Focus on quick feet, balanced shoulders and eyes focused ahead and not on your feet.

4 Cone Drills – Do each drill 4 times, rest 30 seconds in between each set.

1. Work your way around the box, shuffle, sprint, crossover, backwards.
2. 4 different actions - 2 footed quick step, 1 footed hop, 2 footed hop getting knees as high as possible, shuffle through.
3. Shuffle around the cones, staying low and not clicking feet.
4. 2 footed long jumps, start low and try to get as far forward as possible. Try to beat previous jumps.

*If you don’t have cones at home, socks or drawing cones with chalk is a great alternative.

Have fun and keep working hard!
