In recent years, the systematic study of football has demonstrated the importance of set pieces, regardless of the level and gender of the participants or the tournament they are playing in, both for the goal scoring and the final result of the match. Despite their importance, there appears to be a gap in the contemporary football/soccer literature, which this book hopes to fill. It aims to take a holistic approach to the subject, providing scientific knowledge as well as the theoretical background that every football coach should possess regarding set pieces. Importantly, the book examines both the offensive and defensive function of the team in set pieces, while emphasis is also placed on preparation for the next stage, namely the offensive or defensive transition. At the same time, however, the book offers a large number of routines (drills) that coaches can incorporate into their training sessions to effectively prepare their players in practice. For a better understanding of these routines, the book is accompanied by animations that can be viewed on the mobile/tablet by scanning the QRCODE.

This book does not intend to discover something new or make any innovations. Its purpose is to organize our existing knowledge. It was written to address the needs that occur from daily training with young goalkeepers, which sets the base for analysis, planning and adapting methodology to the needs of every individual goalkeeper.This book presents the 14 categories of Goalkeeper training, both in order of importance and by age. Each training category includes a rich and specialized range of exercises that is accompanied by photographs and illustrations. In total there are 168 exercises to cover every aspect of the specialized Goalkeeper training.
