GOALKEEPER COLOUR GAME

Your goalkeepers will learn how to move in line with the ball and be in the best position to save shots with this simple game.

GOALKEEPER COLOUR GAME

Objective:

To practise and develop correct goalkeeper positioning.

U9 upwards.

Whole squad.

Divide your squad into groups of four or five. Set up a goal on the end line of your playing area and mark a semi-circle around the goal.

How to play:

To begin the game, have the cones fairly close together. You call out a colour and the player standing at that cone shoots.

If they are out of position, stop the game and show them where they should have been. Go through all the colours, then change the 'keeper.

Progression 1:

Move the cones further apart and have at least one just off the end line.

Progression 2:

Remove the cones. Now the players standing around the semi-circle pass a ball to each other. The goalkeeper has to move quickly to stay in the right position. The player with the ball shoots on your command. The goalkeeper has to save four or five shots before you rotate them out.
