Football: In and Out Catch Slalom

This session works on your shot-stopper's footwork, building confidence between the sticks and helping them to get to the ball quicker!

Working in twos, with one ball, the keeper must catch the feed into their stomach, throw it back and then backtrack around each pole.

After they've run around the pole, taking small and speedy steps they move out ready to take the next feed.

This drill simulates recovering, running quickly back onto your line.

The keeper starts the drill by sprinting out to touch the penalty spot with their hand. Once they've touched the penalty spot they run backwards as quickly as then can to get back onto their line.

As soon as the keeper has taken a couple of steps back the feeder plays a lobbed ball to try and go over the keeper into the goal.

Set up a line of equally spaced poles. Keeper starts at the far end and moves quickly in and out between each of the poles in sequence - moving left and then right.

Once they move out (to the right) the feeder plays a mid-pace pass along the floor.

The keeper dives out to catch the ball and throws it back out before continuing to move between the poles and diving onto the next ball.

The keeper jumps sideways over the three gates, and then moves quickly into the center of the goal ready to catch the feeder's shot.

The feeder plays the ball into the keeper who gathers the ball, rolls it back out and goes back to the start - ready to repeat again.
