Footwork into High Ball Collection

Set-Up

 Two sets of two hurdles 3 yards apart & laid down diagonally 

Mannequin is three yards out between the hurdle sets

S1 & S2 w/ supply of ball & about 10 yards out diagonally from the far set of hurdles

A GK at each hurdle to start 

Procedure

Both GKs start at the same time & do side-on (facing server on far side), two steps in footwork

Once GKs come out of the hurdles, they set side on to their server

Servers throw the ball up at the same time

Once GKs claim the ball, then roll it out to the near side server & switch side for the nest set

3-4 rounds on each side

Coaching Points

Set side-on to the ball

First step is no step when the aerial ball is served 

Catch the ball above the head at the very minimum

Take more conservative starting position closer to the goal line when in-swinging service

Take up more space on the out-swinging service
