Specialist coaching for young goalkeepers
Run by our head goalkeeping coach, who holds the UEFA A Licence in Goalkeeping. We help young players master the role goalkeepers play in the modern game.
Built for the modern goalkeeper
Keepers today are the first line of attack as well as the last line of defence. The syllabus covers both.
Handling and shot-stopping
Catching technique, diving, set position and dealing with shots from every angle.
Footwork and positioning
Moving across the goal, narrowing angles and starting position for crosses and 1v1s.
Playing out from the back
Comfort on the ball, first touch and passing under pressure.
Distribution
Throws, goal kicks and kicking from hands to start attacks.
Communication
Organising the defence and taking charge of the box.
Confidence
A position that can feel lonely, coached by people who have played it.
Train with the academy, specialise in goal
Young keepers join a normal academy session for their age group and get specialist goalkeeper work on top. Book the free sessions and tell us your child plays in goal.
