The coach stands in front of the 6-meter pole with a good supply of balls (as shown in the picture).

Description

The exercise consists of two sets per theme for repetitions. The themes are: ground ball, dunk ball, rebounds, mid-height shots, and high shots
For the rebound and high shot themes, the trainer throws a ball with his hands, and after each save, the goalkeeper must return it from the ground or as soon as he gets up
Below is an example of how to perform the exercise:
1. The goalkeeper performs a somersault over the elastic band and makes a save on the cone
2. The goalkeeper returns to the elastic band running sideways, looking at the coach
3. He performs a somersault over the elastic band and makes a second save on the other cone
