Emphasis:
Lateral speed
Set-up:
Place three cones 4 yards apart, the outside cones are 8 yards apart from each other (the width of the goal).
Objective:
Goal keeper must face the middle cone, sprint laterally to cone 1, over to cone 2, and then back to cone 3. (Use the side-to-side movement, do not cross feet over)
Progressions:
- Lateral shuffle short-short-long.
- Linear sprint short-short-long.
- Forwards/Backward sprint short-short-long.
- Set up two grids and have goal keepers face each other and compete.
Coaching Points:
- Spring loaded and ready to react.
- Lower center of gravity when you reach the line.
- Explosion step.
