To improve the goalkeepers technique of deflecting shots to safety, away from the goal and oncoming forwards

Two forwards pass the ball between them, goalkeeper adjusts position as ball moves. One forward makes a decision to shoot at goal. Forwards are asked to shoot to the side of the goalkeepers to encourage deflected saves. First objective is for the goalkeeper to save the ball and catch it if they can. Failing that goalkeepers must ensure that they save the shot by deflecting it to safety, away from the goal and any forwards following up.

Place 3 forwards about 15 meters apart and 20 meters away from the goal. Forwards pass the ball between them and across the front of the goal. Goalkeeper must adjust sideways as the ball is passed, constantly checking their angles. Coach calls out to one of the forwards "shoot" Forward must control the ball out of their feet and look to shoot. Goalkeeper must close the ball down, adopting the correct angle and distance. Improves the goalkeepers understanding of sideways feet movement, checking new angles and distances from their goal and closing the ball down.
