Shot-stopping for keepers

Out of Possession

This high tempo session is used to improve a goalkeeper’s footwork and mobility around the six-yard box. It helps him to move into line and set quickly, always encouraging him to adopt a good body shape. This practice gives a keeper time to make good shot-stopping decisions.
