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.
Not only is this drill about accurate diving from the keeper, it also works on speed and stamina.
Keeper should move quickly to smother the ball whilst also get back up to their feet fast, so that they're in position to stop a second or third shot on goal.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
