Sorry its been a while guys, trying not to make excuses but i've been pretty snowed under. Right here goes-
Figure 1

GK
S2 S1 S3
Two cones are place in centre of the goals approx 3 yds apart, GK stands between the cones and recieves a volley from S1 for him to catch, as soon as the ball leaves the GK's hand to throw the ball back to S1, S2 sided foots a shot firmly about 1yd in side the post for the GK to save. This process is repeated but with the side foot shot to his/her left from S3 after a catch from S1.
Repeat 6 each side.
Progressions
*Have S2 and S3 volley or throw ball mid bar height and/or high to practsie diving technique at different heights.
Key Factors
*Correct starting position
*Handling- Head still and behind ball if head height, on balls of feet with body weight foward
*Diving- 'Power step' towards the ball with foot at 45 degrees, and push off over the top of the foot at same height as ball. Land on shoulder and bring hands towards the ball as soon as possible. Try to keep head behind ball as 2nd barrier. Land on side and let the shoulder take impact of the fall, bring the ball down carefully last of all. This is the diving technique for shots, headers, volleys with pace, within 12yds when you havent got chance to move you feet much.
*Focus on dealing with the volley, before changing focus to the 2nd server. Requires concentration and focus.
