Just keep practising. Especially practise with reaction exercises. Goalkeeping is tough, but as long as you keep at it you will improve. As for diving, take off on your strongest foot and well, stretch out as much and try to stop or grab the ball.

When the bag of wind comes towards you - hit it - with your hands - punch it or even kick it; anything to stop it going in the goal. get a mate to kick it at the goal for hours at a time; until stopping it is as natural as combing your hair or something.... Personally, I had no interest in it. But I wanted to win at darts - so just kept on practising for 8 hours a day, seven days a week. Eventually, I could get 180 nearly every time and most of the doubles. If I hadn't have got nervous at matches - it would have been even better. You can try too hard sometimes or want to win too much - if you see what I mean. Practise, but don't get screwed up about it. you won't win every match and it's not your fault if the rest of the team can't keep the ball at the other end of the field!

As the saying goes, 'practice, practice, practice.'
If you truly want to improve, find a teammate or friend who needs work on their shooting. If you have access to an actual goal, play there. If not, any open field should do, just make sure there's enough room, and do what you can to set up markers for the goal posts (we use to use a pair of trees that were just about the right distance from each other.)
The closest your friend/teammate should take shots from would be the same distance as the penalty spot, no closer, and work their way to greater distances, and the angle of the shots should change, too.

To be honest, it was a vow I took, Sawman. BUT, the husband must have misunderstood the death do us part, and tried beating me to death one too many times. I might add, he is my EX husband. I tried, I really did. Since the 6 week old passed away so suddenly, I have made it a goal to Treat each day as if it were my last. I figure that this makes more sense, considering my marital status. Funny thing, I get along with the ex so much better now, due to the children. I just couldn't get the abuse out of my life when we were under the same roof. I told nobody about this, as I was so ashamed of this. They really can make you believe it is your fault when it is not. Thank GOD for gaining power and control back!

I'm a brilliant keeper if the goal is on grass and diving does not hurt you and all- but I too hate those hard mud goals.
It is easy to dive- but very dirty.
When a player comes up you should practice diving for the ball- you will get used to it very quick.
However I CANNOT play in those big goals if the ground underneath is hard!
You are not alone!

Just to add something which everyone else seems to have missed. You need to command your area. When you see someone coming toward you with the ball come off your line as quickly as possible and close down the angle at which they can shoot. Try and get them on their weaker leg by staying goalside of them.
In short, good goalkeepers can stop shots, great goalkeepers learn to read the game.
Oh, and practice catching crosses. Might not be useful now, but, it's the sort of thing scouts look for.
Good Luck for the future.

Im sorry to say but most of these answers are totally missing the point. Goalkeeping comes naturally and if everyshot goes passed you it is very likely that you are not a goalkeeper. However dont not give up playing football because you could very easily be naturally gifted at a differant position. If this isnt the case then perhaps football is not for you and you should think about trying something else. Most people exell at something that they are naturally gifted at doing. In my case it was not football but rugby.
Hope this helps you.

Always be on your toes to anticipate a shot. Start always from the centre of your goal and edge left or right accordingly, remember the ball don't always come to you you have to read where its going. practice your holding and saving od the ball too and if in doubt punch it. Practice makes perfect, you need a mate who is good at shooting to give u saving practice, not running to get another wide ball practice. good luck

You just need to practise as much as you possibly can & keep your eye on the ball. As for diving, you need to learn to break your fall correctly. I know it has nothing to do with football but if you join a martial arts class like ju jitsu you will learn how to fall correctly (it's the first thing they teach you) then you will be able to dive more confidently.
Anyway, women make the best goalkeepers cos no matter how far we spread our legs, we never let the balls go in. lol
