Place a flag 2 yards from post and one yard off of goal line. Place a cone 10 yards to left of flag. Place a rebounder or player at top of 6 yard box at center of goal. Coach stands on end line just outside of the goal. Keeper starts at cone. On coach's signal the keeper shuffles to the right touching the flag. As soon as the keeper touches the flag the coach plays a ball to the rebounder which will be angled to place a ball to opposite post. Keeper quickly moves to the left to make a save. Switch sides.
