Quick feet then dive keeper drill

The purpose of this drill is to improve the footwork and agility of the goalkeeper

• 1 goal
• 1 soccer ball
• 3 cones

The player will start with the ball in their hands on the penalty spot and they will start the drill with a driven kick toward the goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper will catch the ball and throw it back to the player on the penalty spot.

They will then sidestep over the 3 cones and touch the goal post.

As soon as the goal post has been touched the player with the ball will take a shot towards the opposite side of the goal where the keeper will dive to try and make the save.

• Keep your head up so you always have eyes on the ball
• Once you have touched the post, come off the goal line and across, to close down the angle of the player taking the shot
• Use a power step to help explode into the side.

• How can you always ensure that you can see the ball?
• What can you do to close the angle of the second shot?
• How can you explode into the dive?
