Goalkeeping is a specialist position that requires specialist coaching. Many outfield coaches feel underprepared to coach their goalkeepers, which is where dedicated goalkeeping resources become invaluable. Even basic goalkeeper-specific session plans can transform the experience for your keepers.
When looking for goalkeeping resources, consider whether you need technique-focused drills, match-realistic scenarios, goalkeeper-specific fitness programmes, or educational content about goalkeeping coaching methodology.

Goalkeeping FAQ
I am an outfield coach — how do I support my goalkeeper?
Start with basic goalkeeping drill resources that cover the fundamentals: handling, footwork, shot-stopping angles, and distribution. Even 15 minutes of goalkeeper-specific work per session makes a significant difference. Several tools in this category cater to non-specialist goalkeeping coaches.
What equipment do I need for goalkeeping training?
At minimum, you need footballs and a goal. Useful additions include a rebounder for handling practice, low hurdles for footwork, and different sized balls for reaction work. Specialist gloves are important for the goalkeeper themselves.
At what age should goalkeepers start specialist training?
Most development frameworks recommend light goalkeeper-specific work from around U10-U11, with more structured specialist sessions from U13 onwards. Before that, goalkeepers should develop as outfield players with occasional goalkeeping exposure.
