In this study, the existing soccer training program(control group，n=10) and an originally suggested goalkeeper training program(experimental group，n=10) were carried out in order to compare and verify the effect. The verification items of the ability as a soccer player were a personal skill, the skill as a group and the understanding of tactical behavior, and those as a goalkeeper were the success rate of participation in offense, the ability of defense and a positive feeling toward a goalkeeper.
The results are shown below. 1) As for the personal soccer skill, there were significant improvements in dribbling a ball and passing a ball in both the experimental group and the control group. 2) As for the soccer skill as a group, the rate of achieving offense and that of shooting in cooperation with teammates were not any significant changes in both groups. 3) As for the understanding of tactical behavior in soccer, the score in a tactical test significantly rose in both groups. 4) As for the personal skill as a goalkeeper, the success rate of participation in offense were not any significant changes in both groups. Also as for plays of a goalkeeper in defense, there were not any significant changes in both groups. 5) As for the score about a positive feeling toward a goalkeeper, it significantly rose in the experimental group but tended to decline in the control group.
From these results, it was suggested that the originally suggested goalkeeper training program plays a certain role as a goalkeeper program with the aim of promoting for all junior soccer players.
