Goalkeeper Warm-Up

Too often the warm-up is overlooked for a goalkeeper. This is a great mistake, especially when many college coaches dont have the time to watch goalkeepers in matches, but will closely observe their warm-ups with regards to a goalkeepers recruitment. A warm-up can vary depending on the time and space allowed. I haven't coached club soccer in a while and have been spoiled by high school, college and pro where one gets an hour and a whole field to warm-up. Here is a whole warm-up and then you can adjust depending on time and place: This can be done before the game or before the end of the half on the sidelines 1 - 20 volleys to hands (Chest height) 2 - 20 volleys to waist (Between knees and chest) 3 - 20 volleys to feet (On the ground) 4 - 6 high ball tosses (3 with the left knee up and 3 with the right knee up) 5 - 6 easy collapse dives (3 to the right and three to the left) Once in goal: - I start at the top of the 18 yard box with a couple balls. This can be done with one other person, or ideally, two people. All the shots need to be on goal. Kicking them wide does no good. Also, the idea is to not score, but be on goal. 1st person hits a shot and then moves 5-7 yards to their right on the 18 yard box. The 2nd person shoots and then moves 5-7 yards to their left of the 18 yard box. The first person shoots and then moves right another 5-7 yards. The other person does the same, but moves to the right. Both shooters make an arc around the 18 yard box until both are on the end line. From there the servers alternate taking about five or six crosses from each side. - With one player at midfield, take about six goalkicks and six punts. - One player at midfield and one at the top of the 18 yard box. The player at the top of the 18 yard box passes the ball back to the keeper and the keeper hits three first time strikes with the left foot, and three with the right foot, to the person at midfield. If you have time, this can be repeated, using two touches. - If there is time left, the person at the 18 dribbles in to goal and the keeper takes the ball off the player's foot. This can be done from different angles.
