Goalkeeper training drills: Make double saves

Set up

Two goalkeepers face four servers, positioned around the edge of the 18-yard-box. Each server has two balls.

Action 

From right to left, one-by-one, each server takes a shot at goal. The goalkeepers take it in turn to face the shots. Once they make a save they quickly get to their feet, ready to face the next shot. 

Reps: Two rounds of four shots per pair of goalkeepers

Sets: 3-5

How it helps

During a game a goalkeeper will have to try and save shots from all angles with bodies around them - this drill replicates that scenario. It also challenges them to recover quickly and set themselves for the next shot on goal.
