The keeper works their way around the circle and must react to three different types of feed which they must try to catch/stop and then return the feeder.
The first feed is a simple chest-height catch.
After this first stop the keeper then jogs around two cones before sharply changing direction and diving low to catch the second feed.
After this the keeper quickly gets back to their feet and jogs around the next cone before then diving to catch the third feed.
Feeders should aim their ball towards the cone - they're not trying the catch the keeper out although they shouldn't be deliberately making this drill easy for them either.
Before the second feed the keeper should touch the cone before changing direction to meet the ball.
The drill will help improve goalkeeper's agility, and ensure that the keeper is comfortable diving to either side.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
