Goalkeeper Training: Game Warm up

Hey keepers, After stretching and preparing myself mentally for the game. I go to the 6 yard box for a quick dynamic stretch. I use this time to check out my box for any issues like rocks, holes or lumps. Make sure to stretch the areas that you feel need the most work, I always start with butt kicks and knee ups. Then a quick machine gun across the whole box, followed by a pair of groin stretches and a karaoke shuffle across the whole box again. As a coach, I do not like my goalkeepers to take a head on shooting drill that might make a lot of goals on the keeper before the game. If anyone is shooting on the keeper before the game they should be make every shot saveable to promote the keepers confidence and get them used to catching and parrying the ball on the field. Too often shot drills will make younger keepers lose heart and confidence after letting in goals or making mistakes in the pregame warmup. Remember always have fun and practice practice practice! www.facebook.com/albertoruizsoccer www.twitter.com/albertojruiz
