The coach should take shots at the keeper to save, start with shots directly at the keeper. Move on to shots and throws above the head forcing the keeper to jump for the ball and low shots on the floor forcing the keeper to the ground. Next aim the shots so the keeper has to take a dive either to their left or right. Progress this drill by making the keepers stand on the blue cone facing the sideline, then run back into position to save a shot. We are looking for the keepers to catch all the shots firmly with both hands.
