Training session for 5 goalkeepers

Training session for 5 keepers

We have received a few e-mails and comments about why we show drills for 5 or 6 keepers, when normally teams only have 2 or 3.

We replied to all of them, explaining that these routines can be separated in smaller ones that can easily be used with a smaller number of keepers.

On the other hand, we also received questions about why we do such complex exercises, and always our reply was that we try to recreate situations that can easily happen in a real game situation.

This drill shows how to work with 5 keepers at the same time, but if you split them into stages, you can use it with 1, 2, 3, 4 o 5 keepers. That way we avoid cues and the keepers (no matter the number) are always in tension during the whole drill.

We are going to try to explain how we think when we create a drill, how to execute it to the pitch and the technical points to emphasize. At the end we will explain the whole methodology of the exercise.

Remember, in Spanish "Inicio" translate to English is "Start"," P"="Portero" in English "G"="Goalkeeper".

In this exercise we look to improve most types of catching (front, front with fall, lateral dives, high balls, etc), hand throw, distribution, global visión, positioning, etc, etc.

We also look to improve the football skills of the keepers (more tan 70% of the actions of a keeper during the game are performed with their feet).

That is the reason to start the drill with a kick towards the coach. From that distance, the keeper must perform it perfectly, because if he misses 30 meter balls, the long goal kicks will all go to the opponent.

Once the ball is in play, another objective of the keeper is to recover the position (not just in the goal).

To achieve that in a game, what should he do?

Automatically, he would move frontal and laterally towards the penalty spot. What do we do in the drill? A fast move forward would be the next step.

If the starting kick is done poorly (short or too low), the easiest thing is that the shot on goal would come too early. To train this, once the keeper has kicked the ball, he moves forwards to defend a small goal, and performs a frontal catching with falling (we asume that in a game, the would kick from a far distance to take advantage of the por kick) so the ball would arrive probably with a previous bounce.

So for that, the coach will feed him with a ball that will bounce before reaching him.

In a game, when the keeper catches the ball, the next thing is to build a counter attack (remember that normally, the player that starts a counter attack is the keeper).

Where would the keeper find the most open spaces?

Normally, in the opposite side of where the ball came from (if they shoot from the right side, the usual is to build the counter action on the left side). In the game, we would look for the keeper to perform a fast and long throw with the hand to a defender or midfielder.

In this case, having 5 keepers, what the keeper does is the same type of throw, but to a goal defended by the keeper number 2, that will perform a standard frontal catch.

Here we have 2 simultaneous variations.

The first one being that keeper 1 misses his throw, so he would have to recover the positioning to defend the goal, as he was out of position due to the throw.

The other variation would be that keeper 2, decides to initiate another counter attack. Remember that we are working with 5 keepers and when we design the drills, each of them should at the same time be a keeper himself and an opponent for the other keepers. That way, they all work.

How is that done? Keeper 2 will decide what’s the best option to start the attack, with the foot or the hand. So the keeper 3 will have to deal with the ball in the correct way (high ball, dive, frontal blocking, etc…).

Let’s go back to keeper 1. He has to follow the trajectory of the ball played by keeper 2 (it would be the equivalent of following the game that an opponent plays) and always be placed in the line between the ball and the center of the goal while keeper 2 performs his part of the drill. This guarantees that keeper 1 follows the game, and repositions himself correctly without losing sight of the ball.

Let’s imagine that keeper 3 is an opponent’s winger and crosses a high ball. Because keeper 1 was following the play, he is well positioned and can intercept the ball, anticipating the action of the strikers. To achieve that, keeper 1 must go towards the ball and catch it at the highest point possible instead of letting it bounce.

As the high ball was catched from the left side, he looks to build a counter attack on the opposite side (throws the ball towards keeper 4). Keepers 4 and 5 perform in the same way as their colleagues did (keepers 2 and 3).

When keeper 5 catches the ball, will throw a high ball towards the goal defended by keeper 1 and this will have to anticipate himself again and catch the ball at the highest point posible (that way avoids most of the chances of the opponents). To finish the drill, he builds another counter attack, but this time, as the opposite side is covered, he will play the ball towards the small goal placed in the corner of the area where keepers 4 and 5 are.

To make sure that keeper 1 checked out if a counter attack is viable in that side, the coach will raise a china hat, keeper 1 will have to shout out loud the colour before proceeding to kick the ball towards the small goal.

Every part of the drill can be done with 1, 2 or 3 keepers. When you see drills for 7 or 8 keepers (we work with up to 8 keepers simultaneously) you have to think automatically in the number of keepers you will have and divide the routine in smaller segments. This will help.

We hope that this explanation helps and we would like you to comment on the exercise.

That way we will all improve and get better.

Eduardo Vales and Fidel Carrón

The short description of the exercise is as follows:

P1 starts with a kick towards the coach, moves forward to catch the ball, with a frontal fall in the reference goal, that the coach feeds with a bounc, long throw to P2.

P2 catches the ball and passes with the hand or foot to P3 that will catch with a frontal or side fall depending on the pass P3. P1 moves sidewise following the movement of the. Positions himself in the center of the goal to catch the high ball, by the first post, from P3, long throw with the hand P4.

P4 blocks frontally and passes with the foot or hand to P5 that blocks according to the ball fed by P4. P1 moves sidewise in relation to the ball. Takes position in the center of the goal to catch the high ball from P5, and then starts a counter attack with a throw to the small goal.

gracias por este entrenamiento globalizado en el cual trabajan todos los porterosy los tienes a todos en tensión, yo suelo trabajar con bastantes porteros de todad las categorias, y me viene muy bien este tipo de ejercicios. El trabajar con tantos porteros a veces es complicado, pero pertenezco a la Escuelade Futbol Emerita Augusta de Mérida, espero que nos sigais dando mas ejercicios. gracias

Juan Antonio, seguiremos trabajando para realizar este tipo de ejercicios y otros. Ya sabeis, podeis contactar con nosotros vía email o por el formulario.
Perdonar si tardamos un poquito en responder, pero entre el trabajo, entrenamientos, viajes, familia y la web (que no sabemos manejarla muy bien), la cosa a veces se complica.
Saludos

It's very importand for a coach -especially in soccer academies- to have the oportunity to work with 5 or more keepers. This is a very importand reason to see why this kind of drill is useful. Also, you can work in different agilities in the same drill, in the same time for keepers in a circle way!
Of cource, you can broke the drill for 2,3,4 or 5 and more keepers. The coach decides....
Very good and realistic drill !!!

Pero yo todavía no entiendo esta forma de entrenamiento. En un juego real que no cuentan con cinco porteros lo que no hay necesidad de este tipo de formación.

Este tipo de entrenamiento lo que busca son multiples objetivos:
El portero que realiza el ejercicio (P1) ha de posicionarse con respecto al balón en todas las acciones.
Como es logico, en un partido, no hay 5 porteros, pero cuando entrenamos es muy facil tener más de 5 porteros. Con este tipo de ejercicios, ningún portero esta parado. Trabajamos multiples tecnicas sobre el mismo ejercicio
