Organisation:
- Small grassy area with two cones for goal posts (width chosen by coach), 10 balls each. - 2 Players + Goalkeeper - If desired, the coach can add players to recover balls.

Variations:
- Increase difficulty for Goalkeeper by making him stand next to a post before each shot. - Reduce or increase size of goal. - Add player to follow shots in and put pressure on keeper.

Tips:
- Shots should be frequent to really make the keeper work hard. - Shoot hard and low near the goalkeepers body and into the corners to force him to adapt. - Keeper should be on his toes and make sure his shot stopping technique is good.
