The goalkeeper should use short sharp footwork to get into position in line with the shooter (Angle Play). He maintains a solid Shot Stopping Ready Position.

As the opponent prepares to strike the ball the goalkeeper should hop into the air and time the landing so that his feet makes contact with the ground just as the opponents foot contacts the ball. The goalkeeper should land slightly on one foot or the other depending on which side he thinks the ball will be struck to. The farther away the opponent, the higher the goalkeeper can jump.

Hands should be positioned in a good catching position.

Having assessed the flight of the ball, the goalkeeper should have landed with slightly less weight on the foot closest to the ball. The goalkeeper should then take that  foot and raise it in the air in front of the plant leg. The heel should come up until it is parallel with the knee cap or even higher.

The hand closest to the ball is then pushed downward towards the ground. The goalkeeper also has to twist the upper half of the body (head, shoulders, chest) towards the ground to make the movement as fast and sharp as possible.

The goalkeeper should follow the ball with his eyes for as long as possible.

The goalkeepers fingers should be spread wide and the hand should be moving towards the ball. The eyes should be focused on the ball. The goalkeeper should attempt to get as much of the body behind the ball as possible. 

The goalkeeper should land on the side of the body first, with the hips following and then finally the legs. Just before the goalkeepers body contcts the ground he should exhale to ensure that he does not knock the wind out of himself. If the ball has not travelled out of bounds the goalkeeper should get his feet under him as quickly as possible and return to his ready position.
