Set Up:

There are six players set up in the attacking third, with two goalkeepers. Player 1 begins the drill with a cross into the penalty area. The goalkeeper catches, and then moves over to play the shot from Player 2. Player 3 follows the shot with his cross, and after the goalkeeper catches the third ball, Player 4 shoots. The goalkeeper saves and re-adjusts his position with each ball, and switches out after four balls. The shooters move quickly, giving the goalkeepers just enough time to recover in between saves. 

Coaching Points:

1.  Come to a set position before the ball is struck, regardless of where you are.

2.  Use small, quick steps to get across the penalty area.

3.  Parry or punch the crosses you cannot catch, and send the ball out wide.

Progressions:

1.  Add an attacker in the penalty area.
