Collapse Activation (10 mins)

Set up triangle of cones like a Christmas tree with the base just inside the 6 yard box.

Volley to Low Touch (10 mins)

GK starts turned away from post on outside

GK turns inside and receives volley from server --> return to server

GK then shuffles to touch cone and get into collapse dive

Repeat as desired

Progression - switch volley and collapse --> have low touch first then get up to a volley (may require two servers for one GK) --> this would work on GK recovering quickly to feet
