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.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
