Set up
Two goalkeepers face four servers, positioned around the edge of the 18-yard-box. Each server has two balls.
Action
From right to left, one-by-one, each server takes a shot at goal. The goalkeepers take it in turn to face the shots. Once they make a save they quickly get to their feet, ready to face the next shot.
Reps: Two rounds of four shots per pair of goalkeepers
Sets: 3-5
How it helps
During a game a goalkeeper will have to try and save shots from all angles with bodies around them - this drill replicates that scenario. It also challenges them to recover quickly and set themselves for the next shot on goal.
