Know your Angles
Cut down the target area an attacker has to aim at.
It's difficult to get your goalkeeper to move off his line when a burly attacker is bearing down on him.
Confidence is a huge factor for young goalkeepers - but there's nothing quite like making saves when the attacker is favourite to score. Then you'll see the pats on the back from team-mates.
And that gives the goalkeeper confidence when he feels the rest of the team think he's good.
You can give him the ability to do that by coaching him how to use angles.
Set up an area approx 20 x 30m, and get five or six players to help you out. You're going to get your players to run at the goalkeeper and shoot from distance.
Tell your players to take it in turns to pass long to a postion around 10m from goal, the attacker follows his own pass then shoots with his second touch.
Focus on the goalkeeper and tell him to watch the position of the attacker. When the attacker moves to where the ball has been passed to he moves from a central position to face the attacker and cut down the amount of goal he can see.
In the second phase, the middle attacker plays the ball left or right to either of the two supporting attackers. The supporting attackers can either shoot first time or take a touch before shooting.
