Literally I'm the slowest goal keeper in the world. For people who aren't goalies, this video looks EASY. But when you're a goalie this is hard shit not gonna lie. Props to the guys in the vid, that's some mad talent. Wish me luck I'm going to play against the hardest team in my city in 45 minutes :)

they have talent ! and an amazing training

I love the slides.

You guys are making some sweet saves.

Cool! Goalkeepers are amazing people! It's the best thing you can do: stop balls! I love it!

its always good to practice saving with your stick, its really difficult to get used to it

correct, plus you are putting extra force into the kick. and in 1 on 1 situations, the keeper usually comes out on top, with the ball ;)

3.27 - Brilliant.

Great that someone has taken time to film...however...I am very concerned that the goalees are NOT WEARING HELMETS, in some clips...I recommend at all times these are worn...no matter the age!

goalies are awesome!!

@rottemandarijn the last exercise is all about reflexes and speed, it isnt a game situation at all, but it is forcing the goalie to react quickly.

i wear full kit for warm ups i even do fitness trainin with my whole squad in my kit and it does help alot i feel alot fitter because i do that than i would by jus doing it without my kit

@thewevy Oh, wow, no wonder you are soo in touch with the rules... =) I stopped playing since I went back to Hong Kong two years ago. Thanks for telling me about the change though! Good luck! Wow, you are the second person I know that play at National level!!!! Congrats! =)!!!! Go easy on England though when you play them! Haha!!!

I wish our goalie practice was like this :)

@padzter Actually, forwards usually win 1 v 1. If it's a good striker, they'll generally win. We just like to think we let them score.

great guys!

@gossymonster Footwork, footwork, footwork. Ladders, sprints (my coach has me do them in kit), shuffling, all that good stuff. It's really important later.

@NSuttonPictures I Suggest you to firstly pay attention to how he leans when standing and kicking the ball. Some keepers lean too much backwards and by kicking a fast ball they fall. Then when diving I suggest you to tell the keepers they need to dive, "following their hockeystick".

i agree. i play on grass so its a little different, but if i were to go to the ground as much as they did, i would be getting scored on 3-fold.

A good idea for training would be to do shuttles around the goal cage and run some laps: it's hard at first--I woould know, but you get used to it. Also, practicing hitting the ball away with your hands :)

AWESOME KEEPING :D

exelent!!

i have bin interested in field hockey n how they play, especially the keeper cuz my ex bf who i still love vry much is a keeper 4 a field hockey team n i never knew how they played, this is vry interesting n i have an idea of wat he goes through now ^^ i just wish i can watch him play

hmm just wondering about the body postion of the GK and the how is weight is shifting becasue 90% those GK's were off balanced and un prepared for rebounds...just a point.

i wish my training was that intense, gave me good training ideas tho

really good training thanks :-) i do goaling to! people say 'your a girl why do you do such a rough sport!' i am just like does it matter! gets ma anger out :-D

hey guys not bad.... nice to see something on you tube worth watching for hockey! bit more work on the kicking thow. stop going to ground every time you kick the ball. keep upright, you have more controll over the ball. ie direction and you gonna keep the ball on the ground! not bad thow.

I am a junior national keeper and i also offer this kind of training at a high level and have a lot of students... there is just 1 problem! i cant get any1 to do this with me! its really crappy having to do a general practice when u get a few random shots at you with no1 to fix your mistakes!

i agree

@thewevy practice as you play.. i always have to wear a helmet...

@richardson21 Some of these drills aren't crap. Some of them are actually very good, the goalies are just missing a couple of basics.

@thewevy practice as you play, you need to get used to the kit, i always have to wear full kit, always :/

@thewevy Hey, do you even play field hockey by any chance? Goalies gotta try to keep the ball on the ground not because they want to, but because if the ball is flying above waist level when you try to clear the ball, you can get peanlised!!! But this does Not to Aerial though!

@k3rr1 Hey from Wisconsin...female goalies are a rare breed...we're insane! This video is a little sketchy, but it has really good ideas....they just need to work on hte constant sliding and the helmet choice.

i only play for the U15's and it still reli hurts lol i gt hit on the kne about two weeks ago my knee swelled up an i had to miss training :( iv neva bin hit in the neck tho an tbh im not reli lookin forward to it :P

Not bad warm-up. But... when the goalkeeper training session starts?

I've been playing goalie for about two and a half years--I'm the only goalie in my whole town and I'm 12. I rarely get to practice slides, because my coach isn't that good. Can you post a video on goalie sliding?

not realy, but you can feel hard shots to the chest and legs... when i started i used to be scared of getting hit in the head, but is only a bit of a shake, almost happens every session now lol

i play in goal for my school & club there r 2 problems every time i play for my club i have keep using the schools pads and my club said they will get me some and my next match is in a few weeks . plus i don't get any keeper traing so i have to going in with the outfields. it is really anoing

@nzfocus field hockey players dont always play on grass there is water base turf and sand turf

The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

i wish i was that agile in my suit hahah

cool i wish i cud also gt this sessions ny more videos to train goalciii [:)]

@SuperAJ1988 So do I.

@thewevy by the way, yeah, high school level... but I am better at indoor hockey than outdoor hockey =) Kind of missing the game, too.... nobody plays hockey in HK....

@thewevy well, I am a goalie, too. But, apparently, whether a ball above knee-level is a dangerous ball is a matter of the umpire's decision... Unfortunately, the umpires at my inter-school league always call it as a dangerous ball when a goalie kick the ball above knee level. =( I got a penalty for that once... but luckily, I saved it =) Where do you play? I used to play for my school in Somerset and for Taunton Deane Area in England.

@prtygurl102 just started and my couch told me to strech my leg across the goal so idk

@nzfocus ice hockey goalies can move more easily and its way less tiring

Just asking is there no knee-protection cause in ice-hockey theres one?

does it hurt when you play in goal in field hockey

Sir do you wear studs for goalkeeping or just normal running shoes? im having a lot of trouble gliding on turf in normal shoes. will studs help my case? i would really appreciate your help.

Im a new Goalie and im wondering if sliding the whole time is how i should do it :/ any advice?

Where do you play field hockey? Twelve and you are the only goalie? Darling I actually really feel sorry for you there. Hard business being a keeper, but awesome. Sliding is tricky at first, but not too hard to get the hang of. Basically a run then a dive. There is more to it... but the best moves are self taught.

HE GOT 6 BALLS WITH HIS STICK. HOW?1

He asked a question... Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed :/

When they're hitting a bal with theire feet they wear a helmet. But when they're training on chest they don't wear helmets. :P

i think it is not right way to practice here they must slide before taking the ball.

found out why we kick balls already?

sliding on your back leg is just a bad habit

song???

why are u going down when u wanna hit the ball.... they can hit ure knee!... and believe me that hurt...!

helmets?

@SantinoDude well you don't have the balls to try it

theres no kneeprotector... its just you and ure skin hahaXXD im a goalkeeper to and a lot of times balls come on your knees.. but we learn where balls hurt on keepers and thats hw our trainers train my team.... let them know where it hurts so they can hurt a keeper in the game.... yup it hurts on your knees and neck but yeah thats the game......:P

Not this song...

some good drills but the goalie techniques aren't the best

I play field hockey and there are some MAJOR differences. In ice hockey, you can't kick the ball away: for one, you're on ice skates! Ice hockey and field hockey are very different in their own ways, but to be honest i think the field hockey goalies are better--I am one and we are more flexiable. Now why don't you shut the bloody hell up and enjoy this video on goalie training?

This is the worst way to display "training" for a goalkeeper. They are showing alot of terrible habits in this. i.e. going to the ground so often... this should only be a last resort or for sliding at a player. Then the goalkeeper only using stick to save air shots and not bringing other hand over. Then there is the using the stick to save the ball when they slide onto there shins. Oh and the fact they are clearing infront of them instead of to the sides and sliding and scoring goals... LAME

These keepers don't look too good but maybe that's coz some of the training is pointless.

not bad. but the goalies arent really that good.

Not another wacker who thinks ice hockey 'is it'. . . please..go find your own forum
