4 Goalkeepers working
Server 1 opposite the goalkeeper and server 2 and server 3 to either side of the goalkeeper that is working.
Server 1 volleys into the goalkeeper then server 2 gently throws the ball at head height to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper then uses one hand to push the ball back to server 2.
Server 1 volleys then goalkeeper gets a serve from the opposite side from server 3.

NOTE:

Start slowly and then increase the pace so the goalkeeper is working as fast as they can whilst still making sure of the catch from server 1.

Goalkeeping

Fast Hands-Half Goal:

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Goalkeeper starts on the near post after every service.
A ball is played from server 1 for server 2 to do a side foot volley.
Server 1 should have a good supply of balls to keep server 2 supplied with volleys.

NOTES:

Allow the goalkeeper time to recover to the feet.
If the server is struggling to play side foot volley then S2 can serve from a volley out of the hands

Goalkeeping

Fast - get back on your line!:

Players sprint around discs to get into position. One is a goalkeeper and one is an outfield player who is to shoot.

Red player rolls a ball down between the discs when players have begun to run.

Swap lines after one repetition.

Goalkeeping

Fast Hand- Full Goal:

Mannequin or player stood in the centre of the goal to act as a screen.
Server 1 plays a volley for the goalkeeper to catch. The goalkeeper makes sure of the catch and returns it to the server. The goalkeeper then moves around the screening player to get a volley from server 2.

NOTES:

Observe the goalkeepers movement from behind to ensure that they are getting into line with the ball.
Also, check from the side to ensure that the goalkeeper's weight is forward and hands are away from the body.
