Positions
Your role, your tasks, your challenge
Goalkeeper tasks
Sweeper-keeper starting position
Objective
Start higher up so you can deal with balls played in behind.
Drill breakdown
Have a partner play long balls over the back line. Read the flight early, come off your line and clear with the first touch or collect.
What "good" looks like
You are already moving before the ball is struck. Clearances go wide, not central.
Weekly challenge
In each training session, count how many balls in behind you sweep up before an attacker gets there.
Playing out with both feet
Objective
Be a confident first passer under pressure.
Drill breakdown
Receive back-passes from a partner and play out to a target cone with two touches, alternating feet each go.
What "good" looks like
Calm first touch away from pressure, head up, firm pass into a teammate’s feet.
Weekly challenge
Complete 50 passes with your weaker foot at home this week.
