Eyes locked on the ball.

W – Thumbs behind the ball (W shape), Hold ball still where it’s caught – make sure not to drop your hands.

Basket – Hand position (pinkies together) under the ball – fingers pointing towards the ball, impact on forearms, close hands into chest to secure ball into the body.

Hold for 2 seconds – secure ball.

Footwork – move into line with the ball, short sharp steps.

Organisation

Working in pairs; 1 working GK and 1 server will work in a station of 2 cones (2 yards apart with 1 spot which will be 1 yard behind centrally of the make-shift goal). Server will stand 5 yards away from GK which can be adjusted) and will serve as instructed - an underarm throw aimed at the nose of the GK (those who are more capable can apply volleying the ball, but will need to create a greater distance between themselves and GK).

6 Repetitions and then swap.
