The aim of this drill is to practice catching the ball and positioning your body to get behind the ball.
Starting from the left the Keeper works backward round the first pole. The coach side foot's the ball through the air and the Keeper catches comfortably.
This should be repeated until the end is reached.
The process can then be reversed.
> Make sure the Keeper catches each shot. If a shot is dropped the keeper must return to the beginning and start again.
> As the drill progresses so should the speed and tempo.

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.
