How it is set up

Setup. Pairs facing each other 8 metres apart, one ball per pair. Four cones staggered in between.

How it runs. Keeper side-shuffles through the cones. Server passes along the ground: two touches and pass it back. Server then throws at head height: W catch, give it back, backpedal. 45 seconds on, then swap. Second round is weaker foot only.

Coaching points

  1. Small fast steps. On your toes through the cones and never cross your feet.
  2. First touch goes out of your feet, towards where you are about to pass.
  3. Get set before every ball, whether it is coming to feet or hands.
  4. W catch: thumbs nearly touching, hands in front of the face, bring it in.

Make it harder. One-touch passes. Then the server calls "feet" or "hands" as late as possible.

With 4 keepers. Two pairs side by side.

We do this in session 1, The Basics.
