Movement (1) (3 groups)
2 x large cones
1 large hurdle
balls
Aim
To start everyone off with moving in towards the ball as it is travelling towards them
Instructions
The GK will start on his line sitting down, facing forward and in-line with the ball. On command, the GK will rise to his feet and perform a 2 footed take-off & landing, as soon as he lands the coach will feed the ball in and the GK is to catch this without moving backwards, this is going to force the GK to stop and set immediately as he lands from his jump (x3)
Progression (p):
The coach will feed the ball off towards each side (x3) and the GK will dive forward in order to cut off the path of the ball and secure. (Both sides to be worked)
Ground & mid saves to be worked
Coaching Points:
Coaches must ensure there is enough distance so that the GK has enough time to react to the ball and move forward

Movement (2) (2 groups)
Large cones x 2
Balls x 5

Aim
To have the GK making a variety of movements throughout the drill but accuracy is needed
Instructions
The GK will start on his line and facing forward. On command, he will move out to the 1st marker and the coach will take a shot on goal (to any position)
The GK will rise from this shot and move over the goal to the 2nd marker where he will have to perform a 1-2 with him on the foot the ball is played to, from this, the GK will move over the goal again and once he has set, another shot is played. .... Repeat......
service: shots to any position but the angle is always going to change as the GK always sets on or near the marker {coach to ensure that he is in-line}
Progression: clipped shots and difficult pass backs can be used
