How it is set up

Setup. Four cone goals, 3 metres wide, on the sides of a 15 metre square, all facing in. A keeper in each. Coach in the middle with the balls.

How it runs. The coach rolls a ball to any keeper. That keeper has two touches to shoot at any of the other three goals. Whoever saves it shoots next, straight away. If a ball goes in, that keeper loses a life and the coach feeds a new ball to someone else. Three lives each. Shots must be below head height.

Coaching points

  1. You are never off duty. Any of three people can shoot at you at any moment, so stay set and stay watching.
  2. Save, then look. The fastest shot back is at the keeper who is still admiring their own.
  3. Disguise it: look at one goal and shoot at another.
  4. Feet first when the ball is rolled to you. A good first touch gives you a good shot.

Make it harder. Two balls in play. Then throws only, with one hand.

With 4 keepers. A keeper in each goal.
