Pointers:
Goalkeepers work in pairs, using one ball each. Keepers
are positioned facing each other approximately
2 yards apart and a little to the side. The
keepers work as team mates and serve the ball to
each other simultaneously. The idea is to serve
the ball just to the side of their team mate and their partner has to
shuffle their feet quickly to get behind the flight of
the ball and catch it.
Emphasis is on quick footwork. The keepers should not
cross their legs when shuffling side to side.
The tempo should be high. Change partner after short
interval.
