2 players stand to either side of 3 cones with 1 player having a ball and 2 goal keeper working.

From the outside of the cone the goal keeper turns his to touch the cone behind then gets thier head up to catch the server and get into a step-set position where the server will volley to the keepers chest.

This repeated on both sides.

- Ensure Keepers are getting the correct setting technique for the dive or the scoop.

Distribution/ Shot stopping drill.

1 goal keeper is set up infront of the goals. 2 recievers are positioned at a distance to receive forward passes. As well as 2 servers in between the 6-yard and 18-yard box.

The ball is then rolled out by the goal keeper to one of the 3 players sitting on the edge of the box. Once the striker receives the ball the game is live and he can decide which type of ball to play. either a direct shot on goal or a layed off pass for their team-mate on either side.

Ball rotation is continuous to ensure no players a standing around.

Progression:

- Servers provide match pressure to the goal keepers to release the ball to the receivers.

- Players who recieve the ball out wide can take a touch wider to be able to perform a cross or a cut-back.
