Football: Jump and Catch - Two Shot Stopper

This drill simulates recovering, running quickly back onto your line.

The keeper starts the drill by sprinting out to touch the penalty spot with their hand. Once they've touched the penalty spot they run backwards as quickly as then can to get back onto their line.

As soon as the keeper has taken a couple of steps back the feeder plays a lobbed ball to try and go over the keeper into the goal.

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.

Can be used with one or more keepers simultaneously. Place a ball on either side of your keepers, within diving reach.

Your keepers should be stood in the middle of these two balls on their cones.

When the coach / player gives the signal (stretching a hand out to the left or the right) your keepers should react as quickly as possible and dive to catch the ball on that side.

Set up a line of equally spaced poles. Keeper starts at the far end and moves quickly in and out between each of the poles in sequence - moving left and then right.

Once they move out (to the right) the feeder plays a mid-pace pass along the floor.

The keeper dives out to catch the ball and throws it back out before continuing to move between the poles and diving onto the next ball.
