Triangle Fire

Set up

Field
Three full-size goals in a triangle on a surface safe for diving, with a cone 15 to 20 yards from each goal facing the centre.
Players
7 or more players. One shooter at each cone, three retrievers around the outside, one goalkeeper working all three goals.
Keeper
Yes.
Balls
At least two balls at each cone; the retrievers keep them coming back.

How it runs

  1. 1.The three shooters take shots in a strict rotation.
  2. 2.After each attempt, the goalkeeper moves quickly to the next goal and gets set for the following shot.
  3. 3.The coach controls the timing of each strike to keep the goalkeeper working continuously.
  4. 4.Use work periods of roughly 30-60 seconds and monitor fatigue because the exercise is demanding.
