Hi there, more and more clubs and keepers are looking for goalkeeper coaching in Berkshire area. Why you ask?

Thank you for reading my page, within this page i would like to advice you on the goalkeeper schools up and running in Berkshire. Over the years lots of goalkeeper training in Berkshire has become available to goalkeepers of all ages. The problem is finding the right goalkeeper training for your keeper. There are lots of schools saying they can get keepers trails at pro clubs and charging lots of money. I have seen and heard about lots of GK training in Berkshire and would advise keepers it does not have to cost the earth and have fun while you learn.

Goalkeepers are such a vital part of the team and need a constant level of training each week. Now we don’t mean stand them in goal and smash footballs at them as this could cause injury and a confidence knock. We mean specialised goalkeeper training to help improve areas of their keeping.

Goalkeepers need weekly training just like outfield players. I hope with this page i can advise coaches, parents and goalkeepers that they need to be trained on a regular basis by a top goalkeeper coach.

Onto the technical side of dealing with a cross:

Firstly a goalkeeper should always start with looking at their feet as footwork is the key!! Can you sort your feet out quick enough to readjust to the ball, the best keepers at taking crosses are the most agile, athletic, quick, not just tall or big!!

So do drills in close and quick that will test the goalkeepers ability to assess the flight quickly and readjust feet accordingly, ( short, sharp, steps ) making sure that they take off from the correct foot ( outside knee protects ). Edge slowly backwards and keep changing the trajectory of the ball. Also dont just practice balls in front of the keeper. Work a lot on balls back over head, again start in close!

Basic technical detail:

Starting Position

Open Stance

Assess flight

Communication

Adjust feet

Take off from correct foot

Attack the ball at your highest and nearest point possible.

Decision? Catch/Punch??

Watch ball all the way to hands

Knee comes up for protection and to create power

Attack through the ball when possible, creating power and momentum.

Protect if caught.

If Dropped/Punched readjust back into protect goal.

Communication is a massive part of Goalkeeping and especially when it comes to dealing with crosses, and organising players around you. Short, sharp, loud and early!!

It is Vitally important that goalkeepers attack through the ball, not just get to it! Attacking through the ball creates all the power and momentum needed to withstand knocks or bumps on contact.

Balls back over head, work feet SIDE ON, short, sharp, fluent steps, Quick feet are vital and if stretching to catch go down with the ball to maintain safety and momentum through it.

If Collecting through a pack of players keep going through them, dont stop in the middle! this will enable you to see the whole picture in front and set the tempo for quick distribution.

To conclude, its great to watch goalkeepers who express themselves in games! Don’t be afraid of missing a few crosses especially in training as this will help you develop and learn. Stepping deeper into the goal will always make it harder not easier. so step forward, be bold, brave and reap the rewards!!
