Soccer drill to work on goalie skills with the whole team

How to set up the soccer drill

Mark out an area 20 yards x 20 yards You need a ball, four outfield players, four cones and a goalkeeper. Set up the cones in the middle of the square 8 yards x 8 yards.

Run the drill

• The outfield players pass the ball around inside the area, but outside the goalkeeper’s square.

• The goalkeeper must focus on the ball and position himself in the right place.

• The passing needs to be sharp, and a goal is scored by passing to a team mate through the cones.

• The goalkeeper works on quick movement of feet, agility, and trying to get strong hands behind any attempts to pass through the square.

Key soccer coaching points

• You need to keep the tempo high. Tell your players you want to see sharp passing. They should work the goalkeeper with plenty of passes through his box.

• Goalkeepers must remain focused on the position of the ball.
