Triple Threat

Starting on the cone the goalkeeper should move forward, around the pole (1) and save a shot at the near post (2). He should then recover to round the post again for another shot. For a total of 3 shots.

This can be repeated on the other side with a simple post touch.

During this exercise the serves should be in different manors and at different hights.

To progress this, the goalkeeper can make 3 saves with no recovery, for example a save at the near post (2), instant save to the pole, and an instant third save to the near post again.

Again, do this on both sides.
