This Level 4 course offers an in-depth study of goalkeeper positioning fundamentals, starting with the role of angles and distances in shot stopping. Learners will explore how body positioning and balance contribute to efficient movement, enabling goalkeepers to cover the goal optimally. The course emphasizes calculating key angles and lines of vision relative to the ball and goal, while teaching techniques to anticipate opponents’ shooting options and communicate effectively with defenders.

Tactical awareness is developed through modules on reading the game, understanding player movements, and positioning during set pieces like corners and free kicks. Participants will learn to adjust positioning throughout different phases of play and coordinate with their defensive line to maintain a strong tactical organisation. Managing depth and distance from the goal line is covered extensively, including deciding when to come off the line to challenge attackers and influence their decision-making.

Advanced scenario training focuses on positioning in one-on-one situations, handling crosses and high balls, responding to quick counterattacks, and adapting to various playing styles. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical assessments to ensure goalkeepers can apply positioning principles confidently under match conditions. This comprehensive approach prepares learners to elevate their game through superior spatial awareness and decision-making.
