- Starting at post, shuffle across goal
- As partner rolls ball to middle of goal, lower hips and make save
- Toss ball back to partner and continue shuffling to far post
- Shuffle back across goal and make save on shot again
Reps: 4
Benefits: Warm-up, footwork and technique
Wheddon: We try to get our goalkeepers to touch the ball many different ways during warm-up. Shuffling is the main footwork pattern we use in goal; this gets them warmed up and ready to play. I want her to keep her body compact, hands in front (not at her sides) and have equal balance on both feet. If you stand up tall, you'll be a slower goalkeeper.
