Set Up:

Two shooters are set up outside the penalty area on opposite sides of the field. The goalkeeper starts on his line. The goalkeeper begins the drill by coming off of the post and out to the ball. The first shooter hits the goalkeeper in the hands from close in, and after the goalkeeper saves, the second shooter crosses a ball through the box. The goalkeeper must run out from the end line and cut off the cross. The speed of the drill can be increased to force the goalkeeper to get over more quickly for the second ball. During the drill, the goalkeeper switches out after saving the second ball.   

Coaching Points:

1.  Play one ball at a time. Make sure of the first save before moving for the second.

2.  Take small, quick steps as you recover back, and angle the run towards the far post.

3.  Choose to catch or tip the ball over the bar as early as possible.

Progressions:

1.  The goalkeeper must dive on the first ball.
