Goalkeeping requires a different skill set so why would they just train with the outfield players? The U9-U13 Keeper Academy team will be coached by goal keeper specialists and will work its way through a progressive curriculum that looks to produce modern keepers.
Our trial dates for September & October are:
Tuesday, September 10th & Thursday, September 12th.
U9, U10: 5pm - 5:45pm
U11, U12, U13: 5:45pm - 6:30pm
Tuesday, October 8th & Thursday, October 10th.
U9, U10: 5pm - 5:45pm
U11, U12, U13: 5:45pm - 6:30pm
Our keepers will train twice a week with their Keeper Academy team as well as once with their designated weekend team. This will give them a good balance of specialist goal keeper training as well as the opportunity to link in with their team for the weekend, building an understand of how the team plays.
It's important to get the balance between working with our Keeper Academy and our outfield Academy. Keepers normally train twice per week with their keeper group before joining the outfield Junior or Youth Academy for one training session per week.
The Keeper Academy is subject to a levy which is added on to the basic registration cost. This cost is kept to a minimum and covers the addition kit requirements and also a suitably qualified and experienced coach. Goalkeeper coaching requires a much lower ratio of players to coaches making it more expensive than outfield coaching.
