How do I playfully and practically train goalkeeper defence with crosses and high balls? Our HIGH FLYER training programme contains realistic exercises. Turn your goalkeepers into high-flyers!
Discover which exercises you can use to help your goalkeepers keep their bearings in the penalty area and to secure or clear high balls with the right technique. The focus is on situational exercises that can be developed into ambitious competitions with the help of a second goalkeeper.

Since 2002, Peter has been training young goalkeepers with the Hannover 96 Academy, the 96-Football-School, and his own famous goalkeeper school in Hannover, Germany. Sunday is sacred, apart from that day, every day is training day for his goalkeepers, starting from the little ones at age six up to the seniors. Talents like Timo Königsmann, Stina Johannes, Kilian Neufeld and Philipp Schulze started their young careers with Peter as their coach to build a foundation that would take them to the junior national teams of the German Football Association (DFB).
Roland is on his way to the DFB-Elite-Youth-Licence and a successful degree holder of the advanced DFB-Goalkeeper-License. He coaches young goalkeepers with Hannover 96-Football-School and brings his long-term experience into account when forcing the structural basis and innovative approaches.
With his experience as a hybrid coach for both field players and goalkeepers, Roland builds a bridge from isolated goalkeeper training to an integrated team-training approach.
Tim holds a UEFA-B-License and is a goalkeeper coach at the Hannover 96-Football-School. He is also scouting for the lower saxony youth state teams. Together with Peter, he coached young goalkeepers at the Hannover 96 Youth Academy, but focusses nowadays on his software business. Tim developed this platform and coordinates all technical processes with his company, Zinkler & Brandes GmbH in Hannover, Germany.

With passion and attention to detail, we've transfered our best drills into a unique and world-class set of training programmes designed to help experienced goalkeeper coaches and ambitious club coaches.
In 2014, I first asked Peter what it would take to have all his goalkeeping experience in a unified drill and video database. Now we're finally here and fortunately, I have no idea how many thousand working hours exactly went into this project.
