Soccer: Angled Shot Into Long Shot Save

What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...

Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Server 1 plays a ball accross the GK to the far post to make the save.
The GK ideally secures the ball then gets up and across to recieve a shot from wide from Server 2.

COACHING POINTS

Get back to feet as quickly as possible after making the 1st save.
Drive accross to get into line with the 2nd shot & close down the angle to the near post.
GK should push the ball into 'safe zones' if unable to catch.
