Up and Down and Throw Game

.
 

Coaching Points:
This practice is designed to improve the goalkeepers catching ability. Two goalkeepers are positioned in the penalty area. Goalkeepers stand facing each other approximately 3 yards apart. Each goalkeeper has a ball. One goalkeeper acts as the server by throwing the ball for the other to catch and return. In-between catching the served ball, the goalkeeper must throw his ball into the air above him and catch it. Both goalkeepers must concentrate to synchronize their timing. 

Perform drill for short periods and alternate roles. Work must be rapid while maintaining quality technique.
