It is always good to be streched out and warmed up before an athletic event. Heres the how to dynamic stretching and warming up before a soccer match as a goalkeeper.

First you should start out with just a light easy jog for about 5-10 min max

Second you start with highknees, buttkicks, knee hugs, lunges, carioca
- remember you should be walking while you do these.

Third You can hit the field. Start with just bouncing the ball around and catching it, hit the ball off your foot and get to it as quickly as possible.

Fourth you can start with having a shooter kick aome near shots for reaction time warmup and far shots for positioning. Then you can move onto crosses and working on comming out. But if the ball is to far you can work on saving volleys.

That as a guide to a quick and easy way to warmup before a soccer match.
