Form a queue 9 metres from goal and throw at goal from 6-7 metres. Throw balls which can be stopped by the goalkeeper, so make sure your players throw precisely and with not too much force. There is an extra goalkeeper in the goal facing the goal itself. He has the task to prevent balls rolling in between goalkeeper-in- action's legs.

Goalkeepers pass to each other using their feet. Take it in turns to use both left and right feel. Drill should be done with two sets of 30 seconds.

Goalkeepers pass to each other with two balls. One ball is passed along the floor with the feet, while the other is passed with the hands in the air.

1. 10 meter running: Between 2 lines spaced 10 metres apart get your keepers to run 2 sets of 6 runs. You can mix this up by getting players to run a mixture of - Forward runs, Backward runs, Sprints, Side-steps and Crossovers 2. Flexibility - Straddle stretch: Stand upright with arms out to the side and touch your left foot with your right hand and your right foot with your left arm. Players should keep their arms and legs straight and bend and rotate their torso to touch their feet. Repeat 10 times on both sides. Stand upright with arms slightly in front and out to the side. Keepers must raise their feet to try and touch their hands. Left foot to left hand and right foot to right hand. Repeat 10 times on both sides. 3. Improving Reactions Player A stands behind player B who sits on the floor. Player B puts their arms out wide at shoulder height. Player A drops the ball in front of B, who must catch the ball with their legs. Repeat 10 times and then swap roles. Place two benches on their sides, with the top side in-court on a small playing area (approx 3-5 meters). A tries to score with a tennis ball by getting their balls to hit the flat side of the bench. B must try to block as many balls as possible. A throws 30 balls and then players swap roles. Which keeper has the better record? 4. Power Get players to lie on the floor on their back. In this position players must sit up and touch their left foot with their right hand and then touch their right foot with their left hand. Repeat 15 times on each side. Squat down low and walk like a frog for 15 meters. Repeat 3 times. Hampelmann (jumping jacks - raise arms and legs). Try to raise the leg you jump off as high as possible. Repeat 5 times for - Hampelmann left, squat jump, Hampelmann right.

Simple keeper warm-up plus good for the center's throwing accuracy. Players pass the ball to the keeper who then takes one step and immediately sends the ball up court to the center. The center then catches the ball and passes it back to the player who played the original pass.

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move to the other side. While moving, they will roll a ball a short distance in front of them, before running after it and picking it up. This is repeated all the way across the court. Aim for 8 pick ups across the half court, and goalkeepers should be running up and down the half court twice.

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move across to the other. While doing so, they will act as if there is a ball coming from close range that they need to stop. Aim for 5 "saves" in each run, and players should run twice up and down the half court.

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move forward to the other side. In the meanwhile they act as if there is a low ball to stop.
