Screen 2

Player A has a ball at their feet. Player B standing 2-3 yards in front of player A and GK #1 with their legs spread apart. GK #1 stands 2 yards behind player B. GK #2 stands behind GK #1. Player A plays a pass through player B's legs for GK#1 to make a foot reaction save. Player B turns around as soon as the ball goes through their legs to face the ball and GK #1. If the deflection goes wide GK #2 will attack the ball and make a diving save. If the ball deflects in the direction of player B they make a save.

Work for a set amount of reps than rotate positions.
