Warm Up Your Goalkeepers the Right Way

Many coaches believe in visualization and pre-game speeches to inspire their players. While any preparation is good, the opening minutes of the game is the key to goalkeeping success. I also feel it important to do as much as possible to get the backup ready as well--you never know what is going to happen. Here is how I warm up the goalkeepers for the USA Women's National Team.

The first five stints involve both keepers: Ten volleys into hands Goalkeeper rolls ball and I hit it back to their hands (10 each) Goalkeeper shuffles from post to post; when they reach the post I serve ball to their hands (6 each) Balls served into air (from coaches hand) simulating cross ball. (3 to the right, three to the left) Balls served on ground, goalkeeper must dive. (4 to the left, 4 to the right) The rest of the warm up involves only the starter: Shots from the 18-yard box.

A Kids First Soccer Site: Player's Skills Testing:

Armed with the knowledge of her/his players' baseline soccer motor skills, the coach's task of setting short, intermediate, and long-term motor skills and fitness goals is greatly facilitated. Still, to be able to evaluate a player's performance, suitable skills tests must be selected and then must be properly administered. The purpose of this page is to provide parent coaches with phase and age appropriate skills tests. The criteria used in the selection of the specific motor skills to be evaluated are based on (1) the range and scope of skills that may be expected of a child at any given phase, (2) the relevance of the skill tested to game conditions at the tested phase (content validity--does the test measure whatever it is intended to measure?)
