“Developing keepers like no-one else”
About
Our mission at the Keeper Development Program is to help goal keepers progress on and off the pitch. Keeper development is something that is unfortunately often neglected and/or overlooked by most coaches and camps. This often leads to goal keepers not excelling to their full potential and developing bad habits. We make it our lifework to fill this gap by offering keeper specific training, consultation and guidance to all the athletes we work with. From camps to personal individual sessions, we’ve got you covered.
Our philosophy
At the Keeper Development Program, we strongly believe in only working with the right coaches. All of our coaches are experienced veteran goalkeepers that very highly qualified in their trade. It’s imperative for us to keep youth players under the close watch of actively playing keepers, so that they are capable of sharing experiences and can place emphasis on how the position of goalkeeping has changed and will continue to progress. In modern football, coaches demand a keeper have excellent ability with their feet, in addition to their regular keeper skill set. It is therefore crucial that keepers develop a comprehensive skill set that addresses every element of their game. At Keeper development program, we pride ourselves on this holistic approach.

During training it is always difficult to incorporate keepers into a practice session developed for field players.
In order for keepers to properly develop it is imperative that they are being coached separately during training.
Select keeper training
Select keeper training is a small group of elite keepers selected from different clubs to train together in an elite environment together.
Private training
