Top Flight Goal Keeping - Tips and Links Quick Links

 The World Cup is now over for another 4 years and it's easy to remember incidents in "Detail" like Van Bronkhursts cracking goal and Kakas ridiculous send off. When checking your gear for training or a game remember the "Details". These include of course shirt, shorts and socks along with boots, shin pads and gloves. You need to know the weather conditions for instance a sunny day. A cap in case the sun is low in the sky, a hand towel to stop the sweat dripping into your eyes and plenty of fluids. Winter brings a different set of "Details" and these might include, screw in studs for soft ground, under shirt garment for warmth and a second set of gloves that are better suited to wet conditions. Remember the "Details" and things should run a little smoother.

Start with one keeper out near the touchline and the other in goal. The one out wide floats a ball in for the keeper in goal to come out and take the cross. Work on perhaps ten or so good deliveries and swap goalkeepers. When a similar amount of good balls have been delivered in change goalkeepers again and cross from the other side. With juniors the balls could be thrown in and moving up to keepers at a higher skill level of course struck in with the pace and ball flight being changed when everyone has had a go. You can have any number of participants in a crossing drill, for instance alternating crosses with a person in front putting pressure on the keeper when he or she comes for the ball. Maybe one or two near the halfway line so if it is a clean take you can add a quick release and simulate starting an attack. There are endless variations just waiting for you to put your mark on them
