Goalkeeper Fast Hands and reflexes

Goalkeepers reactions need to be sharp when shots are coming from in close. Work on your keepers ability to get something behind the ball even when they might not know much about it

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.
