02How we train

Technique, decisions and real action.

Specific training in individual technique combined with real match actions. Goalkeepers refine how they execute each skill and, at the same time, learn to read the play and make better decisions.

  1. Individual technique

    Specific work on every goalkeeping skill to perfect its execution, with clear technical goals in every session.

  2. Reading and deciding

    We train observation and decision-making: reading the play earlier and choosing better what to do in each action.

  3. Real match actions

    Technique is combined with situations like those in a match: goalkeeper-specific work, integrated into the game.

  4. All-round preparation

    Physical, psychological and theoretical preparation for everything around the position, to develop all your technical and tactical skills.

03Small groups

Few goalkeepers, full attention.

Sessions are held in small, balanced groups of similar age and level: 3 to 5 goalkeepers per coach. That keeps the work at the right pace and the whole group improves.

3–5goalkeepers for each coach
