What is a 'Transfer/Overgang' exercise?
In every goalkeeper training session, it's important that keepers go through a thorough warm-up, helping to prepare their body and mind for the main part of the session.
A transfer exercise is a good and essential way of linking the warm-up to the main part of the session. Just as outfield players warm up with a ball in a box drill or passing drill, it is also important for goalkeepers to practice their handling and movement, ready for the next exercise.
Transfer exercises take many different forms but there is one underlying principal that a coach should take in to account when planning these kinds of exercises - goalkeepers need to practice many different techniques and skills in training. On this basis, it's important that the transfer exercise reflects the main theme of the session; for example if a coach has decided that the session will focus on footwork, then the transfer exercise should include a lot of footwork and balance; if the session focus is distribution-related, then the transfer exercise should be made up of differing distribution techniques, preparing the goalkeeper for the next part of the session.
The intensity level of the transfer exercise should be at a low to medium level, with the focus being on technique not intensity, essentially preparing the goalkeeper for the increased intensity in the main part of the session.

The essentials of planning
Feel free to contact me if you require help setting up training exercises or coaching sessions. Custom-made exercises and training plans, that incorporate essential keeper skills, form a crucial part of a coach's approach to improve their player(s) ability.There are so many essential elements involved in training a goalkeeper: the skills a goalkeeper needs to practice cannot be included in just a few training sessions.
Attributes such as balance, decision-making, distribution, footwork, handling and speed are just a few of the skills goalkeepers must practice, therefore a coaches planning and preparation must be of high importance.
Feel free to contact me if you require help setting up training exercises or coaching sessions.
The exercises come in English or Norwegian, for those of you wondering!
Happy training :-)
