Press-up to hurdle jump goalkeeper drill

Purpose

Set up

  • 2 mini hurdles
  • 1 cone

How it works

Place the hurdles 2 yards apart and the cone 2 yards back from the middle.

The goalkeeper will start in the press-up position between the 2 hurdles and perform a press-up over either the left or right hurdle (make sure to alternate).

After jumping quickly backward shuffle toward the cone and get back into a press-up position.

Repeat this until you have performed 10 hurdle jumps on each side.
