Save reactions for middle shots from 9 meters are similar to save reactions of low shots from 9 meters when using the side step save technique. The only difference is that the side step is shorter when reacting to middle shots, and the reacting arm is placed higher than in saves of low shots, because that arm is covering the middle height space.

The side step save technique involves the lateral push off step towards the direction of the incoming shot, allowing the goalkeeper to position themselves optimally to make the save. When dealing with low shots, the side step is typically deeper / longer / lower, and the reacting arm is positioned lower to cover the lower corner of the goal.  But for the save reactions for the middle shots from 9 meters, the goalkeeper needs to make a shorter side step and to position the reacting arm a little bit higher.

In this video, you can see a combo drill for saves of middle shots from 9 meters, including the vestibular stimulation and balance challenge with a 180 degree jump turn, after which a goalkeeper needs to see and process fast which arm did one of the two other goalkeepers lift up, and then based on that - touch the opposite side post, and then react to a few alternating sides of middle shots.
