The optimal position of the goalkeeper always depends on the attackers position. In this drill, the goalkeeper learns to save shots from a close distance or a one on one situation.
Pro-Tip by Roland Rasch
Close distance shots often rebound. Make sure to keep enough spare balls to your side to give your keepers a lot of reps in this drill.
Pro-Tip by Peter Rasch
This is a great drill for a small competition in your training session. The keepers will double their energy level once you start counting goals and scores out loud.

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.
