This session is designed to work on keepers awarness and reaction time. With keepers having to sometimes pull of double saves or being out of position, this session is great for developing goalkeepers in that field.
Goalkeepers must start sat down with their backs to the centre half on the first post. When a whistle is blown the goalkeeper must get up and run from his first post, to his second post and then position himself in seconds in the middle of his goal, ready for the ball to be received. The type of ball that is fed in can vary from strikes to looping balls.
Time the goalkeeper and give him a shorter time to reach the posts (by firing the balls earlier) as the session develops.
Change the way the ball is fed in so the keeper doesn't know what to expect and has to anticipate more.

Set pieces account for roughly a third of all goals in football, yet many coaches spend surprisingly little time coaching defensive organisation at corners and free kicks. This article compares zonal and man marking systems, explores hybrid approaches, and provides a practical session structure for building set piece resilience into your team.
A player's first touch determines everything that follows: whether they can play forward, turn, or simply retain the ball. This article explores why training first touch in isolation is not enough, and how to design sessions that develop this critical skill under realistic game pressure.
