| After years of the same problem, I pay for my keeper(from club funds) to attend specialist keeper coaching. Failing that why not attend a coaching course for yourself in goalkeeping.

Soccer Coach Weekly covers a lot of drills that are good for goalkeepers at training. Remember to Get your keepers involved in training whenever possible. Get your goalkeepers out-sprinting and out-running some of the outfield players, it makes them feel involved and shows his teammates he can play a bit too, that's great for a keeper's confidence.
Work him hard. Try this out:
Set up 3 cones 10 yards outside the penalty area. One in the middle two either side. A, B and C.
Player A – Dribbles towards goalkeeper and shoots, then turns to defend against player B
Player B – Dribbles to attack 1 v 1 against A, beats him and shoots
Player C – Has a choice of team mate from player A and B. Calls team mates name and dribbles to make a 2 v 1 situation
Player A – React to player C’s choice
Player B – React to player C’s choice
Very simple but excellent for all your players especially the goalie. He is constantly getting one on ones and you'll find he tires quickly.

| One great routine is:- -------group 2--| GK |--group 3 ...........................*< p/spot -------------------------------------------< edge of penalty area .......................group 1o The Gk faces 3 different types of shot in quick succession. There are 3 groups of players with a ball each. Group 1 is 5 yds from the front edge of the penalty area, Group 2 is on the bye line where the 6 yd line meets and Group 3 are on the opposite side of the goal. Group 3 will serve the ball from the hands into the air. After the strikes, group 1 players go to group 3, group 3 players go behind the goal to group 2 and group 2 go to group 1. Start with first player at group 1 who taps the ball forward and shoots before crossing the edge of the penalty area. As soon as the ball has been struck, the player at group 2 passes diagonally along the ground toards the penalty spot where the group 1 player has carried on with the run and strikes a side foot pass at goal.Instantly after the second strike, the player moves towards group 3 where the group 3 server, serves in the air for the striker to either head or volley the bal close quarters but NO nearer than the 6 yd box. The GK has to react very quick to each strike and protect the goal. This is a very intense exercise for both players and especially for the GK, so after all players have had their 3 strikes, the goalkeeper rests. Then repeat but swap groups 2 & 3 so the second serve pass comes from the right and the 3 serve comes from the left.
