TEXAS A&M Goalkeepers Fall 2026 - Limited time in possession & Handling activities!

TEXAS A&M Goalkeepers Fall 2026 - Limited time in possession & Handling activities! Activity 1 - Handling and in-possession activity to get us moving building some of the actions out we will be doing throughout the session with the team. Central volley service to begin, movement into receiving centrally and playing around to wide option, back in central for 2nd volley, then movement back into line with the ball player out for a service into the goalkeepers bubble. Huge emphasis here on “play the serve not the activity”. Taking each rep as it is, and ,making goalkeeping decisions. Technical execution here in and out of possession is emphasized and looking at actions in tight spaces, inside the box. Activity 2 - Passing and receiving in possession activity with a handling progression. Focusing on hip movement and opening up the body to receive and play 1/2 touch. Playing passes intentionally with pace into feet as we switch. Progressing to a shot stopping activity with some chaos/ decision making with movement into set. Activity 3 - Receiving and passing through into handling activity. Drop to receive and open up, top free player, can move to open up either side, decision making for the keeper, to find feet, move centrally for the service into tor keepers bubble. Progression to more difficult ball back to control and play into central service. Thoughts/ Questions Activities to prep goalkeepers for small sided games in training Limited time to warm up and activated for the session, incorporating key actions and decisions they will make. What does a limited time activity look like? What influences it? How do you manage reps within this activity per goalkeeper ? #Gigem #SEC #NWSL #USSF #Goalkeeping #NCAA
