Why every goalkeeper should play Goalie Wars

If you are a goalkeeper…and haven’t had a chance to play the immensely enjoyable game of goalie wars…I’d class you as a deprived!

There are many variations on the rules but the basics are – 2 goals, 2 goalkeepers, 2 minutes to score as many goals into each other. Endless supply of balls…any method can be used to score. Click here for more on the rules.

So what makes it so worthwhile for a goalkeeper? It involves you going freestyle with many gking skills. Handling, agility, striking the ball, reactions. Often during a training session, you can start going through the motions, not thinking too much about what you are doing. Goalie Wars forces you to use the best of your ability in a very short space of time.

Whether you are a goalkeeper or goalkeeper coach, I highly recommend incorporating this into an occasional training session
