Scientific research in sports sciences, particularly in sports training, significantly advances athletic performance by adopting scientific methods that enhance team performance and optimize physical effort. As a game aiming to score against the opponent, football necessitates special attention to the goalkeeper. Proper training equips goalkeepers to defend the goal effectively, especially in critical scenarios like one-on-one situations, requiring mastery in narrowing the scoring angle through appropriate positioning. The goalkeeper is pivotal in the team as the last line of defense. In light of global advancements, especially in sports, various methods and approaches have emerged to develop the goalkeeper's skill-specific and physical abilities. Among these are plyometric training and weight training, which are particularly effective in enhancing explosive strength—a key requirement for goalkeepers to perform crucial movements. This research investigates the effect of plyometric training on explosive strength and the skill of catching for goalkeepers in Diyala Sports Club. The researchers identified a gap in explosive strength training for football goalkeepers due to limited knowledge of appropriate methods. Employing the experimental method, they conducted pre- and post-tests under controlled conditions, utilizing SPSS for statistical analysis. The results indicated that the training methods, especially plyometric exercises, effectively developed the explosive strength of the hands and legs and improved the catching skills of the goalkeepers.
