Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
have sumone throw a tennis ball standing behind you towards a brick wall and it'll come back forcing you to react quick(this drill was seen on 'Miracle'). Also up downs are perfect too, and doing sprints

i play hockey topo but im a defenseman
side-to-side motion is alot of what a goalie does
ski-jumps will help u gte faster on your feet

I play goalie also, but I play ice hockey. One drill I like is like follows: I start down in the butterfly position, and the coach shoots to either side low and you have to make kick saves to the side to stop them. Also, you can start in the butterfly, pop up, get a shot, and then go back into the butterfly. Going on google and searching for "goalie drills" usually helps also to find drills.

i play hockey also(pretty much any position) and i train my goalie skills by going about 2 feet away from a wall and throwing a bouncy ball at it. it will bounce back, and try to stop it... (i could beat u in a shootout) jkjk

Well I am a goalie myself, except i play ice hockey. A very good exercise, though it sounds stupid, is putting on your goalie pads and running up and down the stairs untill you can do it as good as yopu can without the equipment on.
You should believe me, I did this and got so quick on my pads that select and metro hockey teams were asking me to play for them. I make the highest team in town hockey every year.
Trust Me............IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!

Just keep playing reagular games or as a goalie you should get someone to shoot on you. As for speed just do drills that you skate around picons and do them fast.
Hope I helped

You should have someone throw like 20 balls nonstop at u while u stand in front of a net. Count how many u block and eachtime try to increase that record. But remember they have to be FAST! Good Luck!

Inline eh? Well, ice stuff will work just as fine too because you just remove the ice, its very much the same.

And finally, from an experts point of view I magically copy and paste the following for you:
"Now with regards to drills, there are lots out there for both on and off of the ice. First off, we recommend working on your flexibility. Remember to stretch well before and after playing. Staying limber should be an important part of every goalie's routine. Improving your flexibility will make you a better goalie and will protect you from injury. As well, you should make stretching an important part of your summer and off-ice routines.
On the ice, you should start by learning your crease. Practice moving post to post and up to the corner. Using the four corners of your crease, practice moving back and forth and diagonally. When it comes to your crease and playing goal, you need to learn your "angles". Playing goal is as much about cutting down the angle (the amount of net the shooter has to shoot at) as it is about reaction time. By coming out and challenging the shooter, you take away the net. But it should be noted that you need enough mobility to get back in position if the player passes the puck or tries to deak. Agility in the net is as important up and down as it is side to side. A good goalie needs to recover quickly after going down so that they can react well to the next shot. Practice going up and down, using the butterfly, skate save, and two-pad slide. Learning to get up quickly will improve your game immensely and will help teach you good balance.
Off the ice, you can do things for stamina, leg strength, and reaction time. Playing other sports over the summer will help you with all of these. Soccer will help with stamina and leg conditioning, and racquet sports will help with reaction time and eye-hand coordination. Other sports are a great way to train....after all, great goalies are great athletes. You may also want to consider going to the gym to work on your leg strength. Squats and other leg exercises will all help. It is important to note that maintaining your flexibility will be important if you start a leg routine at the gym. When it comes to reaction time, try doing anything that causes you to react quickly. Drop a tennis ball from above your head but behind your back. Then turn around and catch it. Or, stand close to a wall (move closer as you get better) and have someone throw tennis balls over your shoulder to the wall. React by catching the rebounding tennis ball.
