Goalkeeper Warm Ups
By: Matt Wurst
about 3 years ago
At the start of every soccer practice or prior to each soccer game, a great soccer goalkeeping drill for incorporating your goalkeeper and warming up your shooters at the same time is a rapidfire shooting gallery drill from the 18yard line.
- A number of players spread out across the 18yard box and count off in order.
- Each player has a ball and is ready to shoot.
- A coach stands off to the side and calls out a number, who then shoots the ball at 50%.
- Shooters should be instructed to put balls near or close to the keeper to start.
- As soon as the keeper makes the save, another number is called and the player shoots
- Continue until all players have shot. Shots can be harder and tougher as the keeper gets warm.

That's awesome!
