IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
GREAT GOALKEEPING with one another.
Andy Quy STOKE CITY
Former professional goalkeeper Andy Quy hung up his gloves at the age of 24 after spells at Tottenham Hotspur, Derby County, Grimsby Town and Hereford United.
The 34-year-old worked at Aston Villa as Academy goalkeeper coach before switching to take charge of the senior shot-stoppers at Lincoln City. Having impressed at Sincil Bank, Quy moved to Stoke City in August 2007, adopting the role of first-team goalkeeping coach.
He is in charge of all aspects of technical, tactical and physical play.
What are the key things to look for technically/ tactically?
We look for keepers to adopt good positions and to show positive body shape. They must decide quickly whether to attack the ball or defend the goal. If attacking, their line of attack is important, as is a decisive catch or punch, and their intention must be communicated to team mates. Footwork is crucial, as is taking off with the kicking leg.
If defending, they must recover quickly to the goal line and adopt a position in preparation for a potential shot at goal.
Crossers should vary their service, alternating between left and right-footed deliveries, driven balls in and whipped centres.
How would you put this into a game situation?
“Each team must construct four passes in the middle before feeding out to either crossing channel.”

We conclude with a 4v4 game - as before though with two neutral wingers on each side. Each team must construct four passes in the middle before feeding out to either crossing channel. Crossers can send in deliveries or interchange passes back into the middle.
When play breaks down, restart with the keeper whose team was last out of position.
