Warmup Activity for Goalkeepers
Each goalkeeper with a ball.
Area determined by age, size of group, and ability
Each GK with ball in one hand with arm extended
Game is to knock the ball out of the opponents' hand while maintaining the ball in your hand
CPs: Getting GKs to move and get loose, check the area around them (get them used to scanning), fun and competitive

See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Rondo - Basic 3v1 - use as activation
Red Players on outside look to connect with each other through the grid
Blue Player look to intercept pass
If Blue gets a touch / pass out of bounds - Red player switches with Blue
CPs: Sharp passes, movement, vision, find the available option, communication

Simple activation work to prep GKs for various actions.
Notably, get in a warmup of movement prior to activation
1) GK side on, server calls Turn, GK turns square to server for volley - Reps as desired
2) GK double-tap footwork over line/hurdle/cone then set for volley - Reps as desired
3) Spread save position for volley - stretch out hips and hamstrings - Reps as desired
4) Butt-Knees-Feet - get used to hitting the ground - Reps as desired
CPs: Build in pace as we go along, touching on footwork/handling/spread shape/diving, technique is important
Coach Note: College GKs especially for this activation routine.

One GK, Two Servers
GK starts in middle of goal, moves to face out at near post
Server 1 strikes volley to hands, GK catches and bowls back
Server 1 then strikes inside for collapse dive
GK collects and returns
GK moves across goal to face shot from Server 2 - looking to score
GK makes save - all rebounds are live
Repeat
Progression: Middle server (blue) strikes volley to start
Progression: If wide shot misses target or GK parries out-of-bounds, then Middle server (blue) strikes a shot on goal from around the penalty spot (keeps GK thinking and engaged)
CPs: clean and sharp movements, set and balanced, making proper decision when tired/under pressure

See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Server at top of box with four balls
Server strikes each ball in succession, giving time for GK to properly recover from previous shot
- all rebounds are live
Make a competition
- 1 goal = point
- 1 save = point
- outside of goal = nothing
Progression - change angles, multiple servers, make 1v1 an option, hold = multiple points, use field players as the servers, allow field players to make a pass (if multiple players) before shot (forces GK to adjust angles), add mannequins to create traffic, have GK start in different position (turned, belly, back, side) before shot
CPs: Find the ball, hands at the ready, get set and balanced.

Fun warmup exercise
Goal is to progress to 4th box.
Ball can only bounce one time in your box, bounces twice = you're out and group moves up
Must bat ball with hand - no catching/throwing - must hit another player's box
- if hits your own box or goes out of bounds, you are out and group moves up
Can play with just feet (ie: no hands)
CPs: Fun competitive game, works on reactions
