Warm up’s

I’m just interested what the coaches do for their matchday or training warm ups. We have a different slant on it but I’m genuinely interested to get other coaches thoughts

I've put together a GK warm up session plan for my goalkeepers but I have also done individual ones too as I believe its a very much case of "not one size fits all" each GK very much has their own routine and its important you work with your GK to see what best works for them. My "generic" Session plan is mainly for outfield coaches to follow on match day if for any reason I'm not there that match or if I am with the first team and a outfield coach needs to warm up our reserve GK at their reserve game.

Favorite/Most Trusted Online Coaching Resources

Hey J4K coaches - do you have some favorite online gk coaching resources (outside of here, ofc!)? The Internet is a huge place, and I think it'd be helpful to start generating a list of favored sources for coaching/drills/etc to supplement the excellent resources we have here!

Really good idea and shout out. Like you said theirs so many out their it’s crazy and a massive rabbit hole to get lost down looking and looking at them. As an outfield coach as well I utilise mainly: Ultimate Player HQ and CV academy as well as some others. However since entering GK specific coaching as well about 12 months ago I discovered quite early on there doesn’t seem to be many at all just dedicated to GK sessions with the exception of GK Nexus. So looking forward to seeing what others utilise with interest.

New 8 second rule

It’s really disappointing that the FA have introduced this new 8 second rule and no refs have in forced in any of preseason games. I spoke to today’s ref and politely asked why of which he told me it doesn’t come in until the start of the season and it’s a 6 second rule. Which are but completely wrong, but how are my keepers meant to get used to it if the ref don’t do it in pre season. 🙈🙈🙈

We've played a pre-season friendly and the referee was "very" keen on observing it maybe a little to keen tbh and his counting wasn't the best either - counting down very quickly
