Keeper starts behind the the mannequin & then comes round it and make a diving save (4 sets and swap sides)

Coaching Points

Chest facing towards the ball at all times to help
Light on feet to get around
Step towards the line of the ball with nearest foot.
Securing the ball on impact as the body hits the floor
If ball can't be held deflect the ball into safe area (out of play or to sides of the goal NOT in back forward)
Recovery saves to gather the ball
Recovery Lines to defend the goal.

Progression

Roll the ball out to server and get round the mannequin and then make the save.
The mannequin will be placed in forward to serves to recreate keeper 'seeing it late' or a deflection off a player so keeper needs react to the flight of the ball.
