My 12-year-old son lives to be in goal. He loves goalkeeper training and will play football (soccer) for hours in the park with his friends. They do penalty-style shoot-outs again and again, His heroes are Emi Martínez of Aston Villa and Jordan Pickford, England’s No. 1. Obviously for Christmas, some of the gifts he wants to receive are goalkeepr gifts. I've done some research and found a mulititude of gifts that he and other budding goalkeepers will love.
Football Goalkeeper Gloves
Youth glove with anti-slip latex, good wrist support; decent for regular training. My son goes through quite a few goalkeeper gloves so new gloves are always a good gift. Make sure you get the right hand size.

Great guide covering all the basics—positioning, drills, mindset. Would suit someone who loves to learn and practise. A good way to get kids reading!

Padded in hip & knee; good protection when diving on hard ground / in wet grass. We bought some of these last Christmas and they have been an awesome piece of kit. They keep his kneees from getting dirty as well as ensuring he's comfortable.
