The keeper works their way around the circle and must react to three different types of feed which they must try to catch/stop and then return the feeder.
The first feed is a simple chest-height catch.
After this first stop the keeper then jogs around two cones before sharply changing direction and diving low to catch the second feed.
After this the keeper quickly gets back to their feet and jogs around the next cone before then diving to catch the third feed.
Feeders should aim their ball towards the cone - they're not trying the catch the keeper out although they shouldn't be deliberately making this drill easy for them either.
Before the second feed the keeper should touch the cone before changing direction to meet the ball.
The drill will help improve goalkeeper's agility, and ensure that the keeper is comfortable diving to either side.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
