Footwork Drills

The film shows Simon putting two England Youth Goalkeepers through some footwork drills. The key to good footwork is moving in a ‘catching position’; working hard from the wait down – keeping the feet shoulder width a part and in contact with the turf whilst keeping the upper half of the body and head forward and still, with elbows in front of the line of the body with hands forward in a catching position.
