What We Do

Small Group Coaching (1, 2 or 3 GKS)

We provide the specialised goalkeeping training that all goalkeepers need to improve. We work to our own methodology that is proven to be successful. Our goalkeeping sessions are on a 1:1,1:2 or 1:3 basis and are designed to give each individual the best chance of improving.

We work to a mesocycle that works on all aspects of goalkeeping over time, so that no technical aspect is neglected and the sessions are never repetitive for our clients. We look to improve technical and physical skills, alongside building confidence and game understanding. We create a positive learning environment, where our goalkeepers are encouraged to improve performance and effect games.

Game Analysis

Do you ever feel that you don’t get the feedback you are looking for after a game ? We offer a ‘game analysis’ service – where we come and watch you play and provide a detailed performance review document. Our expert coaches have the game knowledge and understanding identifying key improvement areas that you can work on to take your game to the next level.

Coach Education

Are you a goalkeeping coach that is looking to improve ? Or are you an outfield coach looking to integrate your goalkeepers better into your sessions ? Our coach education program can help you achieve your goals. Our UEFA qualified coaches provide the expert knowledge that can help you get better as a coach and ultimately get your goalkeepers to the next level.

Girls Sessions

Holiday Camps

During school holidays, we run our popular goalkeeping camps. We give the participants an insight to our style of goalkeeping training as well as some fun games and competitions. Over the years, we have had some special guests attend, including professional goalkeepers, nutritionists and phycologists. This is for goalkeepers of all ages, genders and abilities.

Affiliate Club / Team Sessions

We want to be the ‘go to’ for any club that is looking to provide specific goalkeeping training. It is essential that all goalkeepers are exposed to the specialized training to improve, however, for various reasons it is often neglected. This is where PPAGK can come to your club and implement a goalkeeping structure that provides many benefits, these include :
  • Improved performance levels
  • Attracting and retaining goalkeepers
  • Keeping players and parents happy
  • Develop a goalkeepers union
  • Knowing that the goalkeeping training is in the hands of experts

In Depth Feedback Packages

We pride ourselves in giving as much detailed feedback as possible to our clients. We do this on the pitch, but for any goalkeepers that are looking for a more detailed breakdown of their game, we can arrange for a feedback session. This takes place via zoom, and a coach will present a document that looks into the individuals game in detail.

Success Stories

We have had a number of success stories throughout the years, notably helping goalkeepers bridge the gap from club to pro youth level. We have a methodology that is proven to work, and keepers that commit to the process, get the reward of improving performance. Additionally, there are a number of 1st team goalkeepers who use our services during the summer break. This has helped prepare them for transfers in the professional game.

Over the years, we have had a number of goalkeepers enrolled in the SFA performance school set-ups. We also have professional clients signing for new teams after training with us in the off season.
