The Goalkeepers school works under the supervision of "Barnet Academy" and "Pro Tec Trials". Our principles of work are based on European Standards of Coaching Goalkeepers aged 7-21, and our mission is to present and pass on knowledge and experience from the best European Schools: Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands…etc.

Our Head Coach Alex Cancar played as a professional goalkeeper for 12 years and has over 20 years of experience and knowledge to pass on to every youngster that attends the school.

The aim and principles of our training sessions are to develop all the essential elements required to become a great goalkeeper. These are:

    Technique
    Fitness
    Psychological aspects
    Coordination
    Breakaway
    Communication with and steering the last line of defence
    Fair play

Individual and group training sessions are available at our school.

Goalkeepers will be placed into groups depending on their age and ability.
Training sessions will focus on the following elements:

Age 6-10 Technique - ball catching
Harmonization - movement coordination
Fitness

Age 10-16 Maintaining focus and following of the match
Intercepting an incoming ball and player
One on one with a player

Age 16-21 Work on perfecting all of the above elements, particularly
focusing on following the match for 90-120 minutes and
communicating with the back line of defence.

Over 21s wanting to take their skills and experience to the next level are welcome to contact us.

Some children may be placed into a different groups regardless of their age, if their knowledge and abilities require varied training sessions.
This will be discussed following the initial training session with us at GR8 KEEPING.

All interested goalkeepers over 16 years of age will be given the opportunity to be assessed by the "Pro Tec Trials" Academy and could also be referred for future trials with a club.

Remember to be a first class GOALKEEPER requires hard work and dedication .
We look forward to working with you.
