Keeper Calls Direction - Reflexes

OBJECTIVE: This exercise sharpens the keeper's reflexes by requiring him to make saves just as he is turning around.

DESCRIPTION: The keeper should be positioned facing away from the coach. He raises one arm, points that direction, immediately turns the direction he pointed to face the coach, and saves a ball that the coach has either rolled or drop-kicked to the side the keeper indicated. The coach should serve the ball just after the keeper specifies the direction, so the ball is on the way as the keeper turns.
