Emphasis:
Strengthening legs and improving explosion

Set-up:
Place a server at the top of the box with a group of balls.

Objective:
Goalkeeper starts on the goal line, bends at the knees and touches his/her toes, explodes up, and hits the back of his hands on the crossbar.  The goalkeeper must get set and make a save from the shooter at the top of the box.  The sequence is 1 jump 1 shot, 2 jumps 2 shots, 3 jumps 1 shot, and 4 jumps 2 shots.

Progressions:

1. Move the server in to the penalty spot.
2. Increase the number of jumps and shots.

Coaching Points:

• Bend at the knees, not the waist.
• Come off your line to cut down the angle.
• Dive for everything.
