FIFA progression for learning to dive high: from the centre of the goal, one or two cross steps, a two-footed push-off and a one-handed parry with a firm, open palm of a ball thrown into the top corner.
A wide server plays a low cutback that the keeper must secure; still on the ground he returns it to the central server, who shoots at goal. If the keeper parries, a finisher pounces on the loose ball.
Server passes to the striker on the 16 m line, low shot at the corner gates and, after four clean reps, a second ball: the keeper must arrive set, save, parry away from the centre and regain his feet for the second action.
The keeper sprints out to touch a cone on the edge of the six-yard box and, immediately, the server lofts a ball towards the crossbar: the keeper recovers with a drop step (diagonal step back) and tips it over with the near hand or catches it in front of the line.
