Setup
Pair-up goalies, give each a ball. Pairs choose shooter and non-shooter. Additional pairs sub-off for first turn.
Step 1
(A) starts just inside the circle and fakes a shot, then simulates a situation where they're beyond comfortable shooting range.
Step 2
Instead of shooting, (A) suddenly throws an overhead pass to (B), then dodges towards the post.

(A) should imagine they're trying to get past a defender, so incorporate a dodge into their move
Step 3
(B) throws a lob for (A) to catch. (A) steadies and shoots.

Optionally (B) can run in and perform shot defence
Step 4
Sub-on next pair in rotation. Pairs rotate roles each turn from (A to B).
