Gather the roll - Both Side:

Two players work with 1 ball.

The feeder rolls the ball to the keeper's side. The feed can be made to either side.

The keeper should react to the roll and dive in a controlled manner to their side, stretching out to catch the ball and then roll it back to the feeder, ready to start again.

Goalkeeping

Fast - get back on your line!:

Players sprint around discs to get into position. One is a goalkeeper and one is an outfield player who is to shoot.

Red player rolls a ball down between the discs when players have begun to run.
