Footwork

Layout – 2 footballs, 2 players, 11s or 7s goals and your GK

Action – Position the goalkeeper on his line, he/she starts at one post and a player throw, catch and return. Remaining on his line the GK moves as quickly as possible to the opposite post and repeats.

Progressions – If you want to lean towards fitness you can time it and use that as a benchmark. Place something central on the line for the GK to jump over to add to the fitness aspect.

Mix up what the goalkeeper does at each post.
