Drill setup- Place the keeper in a full-size goal.
- With cones or pennies, create the keeper arch for the keeper's visibility.
- Scatter 10 to 12 soccer balls within the penalty area.
- The server should move quickly from ball to ball and shoot the ball on target.
- Instruct the goalkeeper to shuffle along the goalkeeper's arc, an arc 2-6 yards from the goal, and stay positioned between the ball and the goal along the arc.
- After saving the shot, the keeper should reset and prepare for the next shot.
- Alternate between 2 servers alternating between each shot. This will challenge the keeper to move quickly from side to side along the arc to cut off the shooting angle.
