- Soccer balls
Setup
- Area: 10x20 yard area marked with cones
- Goals: One small cone goal set up within the area for each goalkeeper pair
- Group: 2 yellow goalkeepers kneeling upright facing each other on either side of the cone goal, roughly 2 yards apart, sharing one ball between them

Instructions
- Goalkeepers start on their knees positioned upright, not sitting back on their heels.
- The first goalkeeper rolls the ball past their partner to the side, ensuring the ball is reachable.
