Set up
Position server one at the top of the D with a supply of balls and server two on the penalty spot. Server two must get on his knees with his back to goal, facing server one.
Server one fires a half volley at server two who uses his hands to deflect the goal-bound shot. The goalkeeper has to react to the ball’s change of direction to make the save. Each goalkeeper must face 3-5 sets of six shots.
Improves your ability to anticipate and react to deflected shots so that you’re ready to change direction at speed and make big saves during a game.
