Goalkeepers Footwork Exercise

Setup

You will require: 1 ball / 6 cones, Position 3 cones to the left of the goalkeeper 1 yard/half a meter apart, Position the other three to the right in the same manner but also a meter in front, the player/coach positions 3 meters in front of the goalkeeper

How it works

The goalkeeper starts by side stepping through the cones and then back to the middle, then the keeper steps forward to the other set of cones and catches a straight shot from the player/coach, then do the same for the second set of cones before taking a step back and saving, repeat this process for 2 minutes at a time
