GK2 GK3
* In a four yard goal marked with cones/agilty poles, put a GK behind each cone/agility pole, with a server 4 yards away slightly wide of each pole.
* The GK1 come through the middle of the cones/agility poles and GK3 serves the ball wide of the poles for GK1 to make a diving save. GK1 returns the ball to GK3 and quickly move his feet backwards behind the cones/agility poles and comes though the middle of them again to make a diving save from GK2 (working in a figure of 8 motion).
* Once this is done he swaps with GK2, who then does his 2 saves who then swaps with GK3 who then does his.
* Once GK3 has completed his/her, GK1 goes back in to do his/her 4 saves. Then after all the GK's have done this they all do 6 saves then 8 saves.
* After they all do 8, then then do 6, then 4, then 2 to finish.
Key Points
* Good Diving Technique- Keep quality high even when tired.
* Good Footwork- Essential.
* Good service- To keep quality of Goalkeeping High. make sure the goalkeeper is stretched but still able to catch the ball.
Progressions
* Service- Low service for low diving saves, high for high diving saves.
* Level of Fitness- Work to 6 for beginers and back to 2. Work to 10 or 12 then back to 2 when fitness increases.
