PART 2 (30 min)
In the first exercise (Figure 3) the technical part will be trained (positioning – body angle – receiving – passing).
Goalkeeper (A) passes to Goalkeeper (B). At the same time the coach shows a colored marker, so the Goalkeeper (B) makes a pass to the corresponding colored target. If the color is white/green, Goalkeeper (C) makes a high pass to Goalkeeper (D) (and the opposite). If the color is red/blue, Goalkeeper (B) makes a low pass to the small goals. All goalkeepers participate in the exercise.

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Give as many breaks as needed to the goalkeepers – some games are highly-intensive.
2. All goalkeepers must participate in the training exercises. They remain active through receiving many touches and repetitions. The drills must also be entertaining and funny.
3. Exercises 3 & 4 must be carried out in realistic areas. The goalkeepers must be aware of the distances concerning the fundamentals of passing technique.
4. Make your trainings effective – Your players should question themselves concerning their performance. If you achieve that, they will be better in the next training session.
