Warm-Up Goalkeeper

Setup

Pitch: Play takes place in front of a goal, the agility ladder lies next to it.

Equipment: 1 agility ladder, alternatively flat markers, 1 goal, 1 to 2 balls.

Players: One goalkeeper plus at least one team-mate.

The warm-up formats are carried out in the order given, each drill lasts about 2 minutes.

Agility ladder with ball work: The goalkeeper completes various exercises at the agility ladder. After every round a ball is played to the goalkeeper at different heights. The goalkeeper catches it and plays it on to the next team-mate.
Handing over the ball while standing: Two players stand back to back. One has the ball and hands it over, without turning around, around one of the sides or through the legs. The tempo is increased without the ball touching the ground.
Short stretching: General stretching exercises for the legs, upper body and arms.
Reaction training: The coach stands with a ball about 5 metres in front of the goal, with attackers waiting to the right and to the left. The coach rolls the ball towards the goal, the goalkeeper tries to secure it before the attackers.
Actively defending shots on goal: The coach or team-mates shoot and throw balls at the goal. The finishes are made in different variations.
