The goalkeeper starts 2 / 3 metres off their line on their knees. The coach then throws the ball under arm for the goalkeeper to dive across and make a save with their hand/stick.
Make sure that the goalkeeper's hips are the first part of the body to touch the pitch.
Ensure that the hand / stick are close together. Make sure that the goalkeeper's vision is not impaired by placing hands / stick in front of eyes.
When landing, try to land on your elbow and stay balanced on it to allow for secondary saves.
