Coach feeds a continuous series of shots from 6m forcing fast resets and high concentration.

• •Set position before each shot
• •Hands ready in W-shape
• •Recover quickly

Keeper shuffles between two cones and must be fully set before every low, mid and high shot.

• •Feet stop before the strike
• •Weight on the balls of the feet
• •Hands out of the hips

Low-driven shots into the corner forcing the keeper into a controlled split save with proper hip drop.

• •Lead with the inside leg
• •Hands lead the body
• •Stay compact on rebound

No ball — the keeper drops into a full split barrier, holds three seconds, then rebuilds to set position.

• •Trail leg flat, toe pointed out
• •Chest over the front knee
• •Arms make the shape taller

Driven low shots requiring instep or sole-of-foot blocks at close range.

• •Plant foot strong
• •Block surface flat
• •Recover hands behind body

Coach rolls balls firmly at the keeper's feet from 4m; keeper presents a flat sole barrier each time.

• •Toe up, sole square to the ball
• •Knee over the blocking foot
• •Do not reach — step in

Three feeders deliver crosses, lifts, and driven balls in rotation.

• •Catch in front of body
• •Cushion the ball
• •Protect with elbows

Keeper holds one ball while catching and returning a second thrown at varied heights.

• •Soft hands, no slapping
• •Eyes track the ball into the hands
• •Keep the spare ball secure

Receive a back pass with a passive defender 2m away; play to a moving target within 2 seconds.

• •Open body to the field
• •First touch out of pressure
• •Eyes up before receiving

Throw to moving targets at 15-20m varying flat and lifted trajectories.

• •Step into the throw
• •Follow through to target
• •Vary release height

Coach moves the ball around the arc; keeper shadows the correct angle without shots.

• •Stay on the line between ball and centre of goal
• •Small steps
• •Square shoulders

Ball is switched across the court; keeper adjusts both angle and depth before each strike.

• •Travel in an arc, not a straight line
• •Higher when the ball is far, deeper when it is close
• •Be still on the strike

Coach throws balls against a rebound wall behind the keeper at varied tempos.

• •Loose shoulders
• •Track the ball late
• •Soft hands

A sloped board in front of the goal randomly deflects driven shots left, right or high.

• •Stay tall until the deflection
• •React with the nearest surface
• •Accept the parry when the catch is gone

Defender lets balls through; keeper decides to claim, clear, or hold position while calling loudly.

• •Early and loud call
• •Decisive first step
• •Safety first under pressure

During a 3v3 the keeper may only use two-word commands — 'away', 'man on', 'step up', 'hold'.

• •Early beats loud
• •Name the player before the instruction
• •Repeat the key call twice

Attacker drives from wide channel; keeper must read body shape and time the close-down.

• •Stay tall, delay commitment
• •Big body shape
• •Patience wins

Ball is played into space; keeper must decide in under a second to claim, block or retreat.

• •First two steps are explosive and committed
• •If you go, you go all the way
• •Retreat on the balls of the feet

Keeper joins the attack as the extra outfielder and finishes first-time from cut-backs and lay-offs around the D.

• •Arrive late into the shooting pocket
• •Body over the ball, laces or toe-poke
• •Hit the target early — no extra touch

From the 5v4 base position, the fly keeper receives a switch and strikes low from 10-12m through traffic.

• •Set touch across the body to open the lane
• •Strike low and hard for rebounds
• •Follow the shot in for the second ball
