I played for Blackbear Premiere out of Southern Maine and Seacoast United.

Goalkeeping:
First session would first include a quick discussion of goals, strengths, weaknesses and then a basic evaluation to assess skill level.
After that, a typical goalie session would look like this:
-a quick warm-up without the ball
-stationary ball handling skills (tennis balls, bouncy balls, weighted balls, etc.)
-mental training with the ball (numbers, reaction skills, change of direction)
-Technical/Tactical parts of the game - this would be the part of the session where we would work on whatever you felt would benefit you the most or if you had no preference, I would design a program. Example of things to work on: picking off crosses, reading breakaways, moving through traffic, distribution, positioning, angles, basic shot stopping, etc.
-Fitness (goalie specific fitness - if time allows - related to change of direction, vertical jump, lateral speed, power, etc.)
