Circle Throws:

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.

Goalkeeping

Dive and Recover:

Starting on the middle cone the keeper moves out to their right to catch the first feed.

After getting back to their feet and rolling the ball back out they side-step back towards the middle cone, ready to dive and catch the next rolled ball from the second feeder.
