7. KEEPERdummies in goalkeeper training
Goalkeeper training is becoming more realistic and intense, and the KEEPERdummy Pro as well as the KEEPERdummy Contact are now a key part of it. These training tools simulate opponents in the box, forcing keepers to make quick decisions, react aggressively, and show real presence.
Especially in one-on-one situations or when dealing with crosses, the KEEPERdummy helps recreate match scenarios that are otherwise hard to train. Goalkeepers learn to defend space, control the ball under pressure, and use their body effectively – without risking injury to a teammate.
Another big advantage: dummies allow you to combine conditioning and coordination in one drill. Keepers sharpen not only their technique, but also their reaction speed, body balance and timing when facing shots or deflections.
By now, these training aids aren’t just found at pro clubs or academies. Ambitious amateur teams and goalkeeper coaches are also relying on dummies to make training sessions more realistic, challenging and varied.
