Set Up:

There are six players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, Player 1 plays the ball to the feet of the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper opens up with his first touch and distributes the ball out to Player 2 or Player 3. The player that receives plays the next ball in, and the goalkeeper repeats the pattern, turning and playing out to Player 1 or Player 4. Play continues back and forth across the field, with each goalkeeper playing ten consecutive balls before switching out.   

Coaching Points:

1.  Open up with the first touch and immediately look to the opposite side of the field.

2.  The goalkeeper should be up on his toes and ready to run with the ball.

3.  Long passes should be driven with the instep, and not played with the inside of the foot.

Progressions:

1.  Add service in from Player 3 and Player 4.

2  Air ball service.
