This drill works on your keeper's ability to turn and react.
Working with two feeders the keeper catches the first volleyed delivery and throws it back.
As soon as the first ball has been given back to the feeder the keeper must turn and prepare to catch the second volleyed delivery from the second feeder.
Drill continues in this way.
Keeper must keep their head up as they turn and focus on locating the ball as quickly as they can.
The feeds should be played within arm's reach of the keeper (so that they don't have to dive) but can be varied in their delivery:
high, low, left, right etc.

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.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
