Change Angle Drill

.
 

Coaching Points:
This practice is designed to improve the goalkeepers shot stopping ability with an emphasis on changing angles. 

The goalkeeper is placed in the goal and close to the post. The server is positioned to the side of the same post. The second server is placed on the edge of the six-yard box. The first server throws an under-handed serve for the second server to volley (using the inside of the foot) at goal. At the moment the ball is delivered from the first server the goalkeeper must re-adjust his positioning and ready himself for the shot from the second server. After saving the ball, the goalkeeper returns the ball back to the first server and resumes his starting position at near the post.  

The sequence is then repeated. Rotate goalkeepers to change roles.

Work must be rapid while maintaining quality technique.
