ENSURING OUR GOALKEEPERS ARE PREPARED TO TACKLE ANY CHALLENGE

“It has been absolutely amazing, the kids and the parents have enjoyed it and we are truly happy how it turned out.”

“It’s been great to have special goalkeeper training – I liked learning about the different sort of saves and I am a lot more confident about using the saves in matches”

“Rose was brilliant in using the techniques she had been taught in matches – before the session she didn’t really know how to make saves but after the session she was doing things like dropping down on to the ball”

“Before I started the sessions, I wasn’t very confident about being in goal, but now I feel much more confident and my teammates all think I am getting much better”

“Thank you for an amazing session! All the girls had fun and some put what they learned into practice immediately when they rejoined their training session.”

“LOVED it! I really enjoyed the parts where we practised putting it together at the end running around. Being in goal is less daunting now. I’d really like to be able to drop kick (my goal kicks are terrible!) so if there’s an opportunity to learn technique for that, I’m in!”

“Esme is now much happier to go in goal (before the sessions she had to be ‘bribed’!). Now in matches, she’s awesome, she made some outstanding saves. And she is using her hands and body to shield and save in many new ways.”

“The sessions have really helped me with my confidence – everyone expects you just to get on with things when you go in goal but I’ve never had much specialist training. It’s great to have the opportunity to be treated as ‘special’ for going in goal and I have loved being in a group with other goalkeepers”
