Goalkeeper Crosses Training Drills PGC Director of Coaching Bob Warby shares his drills online for use by all goalkeeper coaches. All training drills are suitable for goalkeepers of every age, ability and level and are only as good as the coach delivering them! |

A begins the drill by pumping a high ball into the box. GK
must deal with this and then throw back to A, GK must
then touch the cone on the 6 yd line, whilst A's first touch
must break the line between the cones. A then crosses. Work
both sides. Progressions: Rather than touch the cone, the GK must move around the cone before repositioning for the cross. A may cut inside for a strike on goal if the GK's position is exposed A can begin the drill with a variety of serves to pull the GK away from his natural area of working. This will gain more focus on his positioning. |

A initially passes for GK
to return, GK must then move around pole and dive onto second
serve from A (just wide of pole), GK then throws to
B who crosses when ready. Progressions: A fires volley in at GK to start the drill, and second serve is to force a dive from GK B alters the angle of the cross by either crossing from deep, or running into the corner A can attack the cross from B |

A passes to GK to begin
drill, GK return pass and then moves through the poles to
face volley from A. GK catches and returns through the
poles, A meanwhile controls the return and dribbles to
touchline before driving cross in to near post. Progressions A's touch takes him wider, forcing a higher lofted ball into the box Volley serve after poles forces a dive from GK A can cross without a touch forcing GK to react to the situation |
