Introduction
It is surprising that goalkeepers are often neglected in coaching sessions. Most
goalkeepers just train with the outfield players and get no specialist input
what so ever.
Eleven players make up the football team and the goalkeeper is the most
important. If he has a bad game, he can lose the match on his own. If he has an
outstanding performance, he can save the game and inspire the team.
The number one priority for a goalkeeper is to stop shots from entering his/her
goal. The single, most important aspect of goalkeeping is to handle the ball.
There are a variety of handling techniques, but unless the ball can be safely
caught then advancement will be almost impossible.
Keeps Academy the No1 Goalkeeper Coaching Company was established in 1996 to provide Goalkeepers from the age of 7 & above with the technical detail and ability essential for their specialized role within the team.
