Goalkeepers as neutral players at either end of the field (use an outfield player if you do not have more than one). 

Goal is to work ball from one keeper to another. 

  • Keepers work with team in possession 
  • Depending on age/ability, allow the keeper to be pressured/not pressured
  • No touch limit - encourage keepers to take a touch and get their eyes up to scan their options
  • Short pass? Can they play a penetrating pass to the opposite keeper?
  • Central players can pass back to original goalkeeper at any time 
  • A team gets 1 point per successful switch of play
  • NO overhead height passes
Progression:
  • Defending team gets a point if they win/intercept the ball from the keeper. This will encourage the speed of play
