COE GOALKEEPER PROGRAM -FALL 2024

Advanced training program for select players ages 10+ aspiring to compete at Elite Levels.

The Fall 2024 COE GOALKEEPER Program is a 12-week cycle which offers 90-minute supplemental training sessions two nights per week. The flexible training schedule is designed to seamlessly integrate into participants' existing routines, empowering them to take control of their personal development journey. The COE Goalkeeper Program is designed to help goalkeepers refine their skills, improve their confidence, and master the unique demands of the position. This program focuses on developing the key abilities required to excel as a goalkeeper, from reaction time and shot-stopping to communication and decision-making under pressure.


🚨 The program is an advanced training initiative, and players must be either selected for it, come highly recommended, or attend a training session for a trial to demonstrate their skills. For players who are not yet prepared for the program, we suggest our Technical Training Program for additional development, which we closely oversee to help them reach the required level for entry into the COE Program.

COE TRAINING SESSION STRUCTURE

The 90-minute high intensity training sessions are divided into four phases focused comprehensive player development in an environment that is professional, player-centered, and provides an effective learning experience.

ACTIVATION

During the Activation Phase of the session, players will engage in individual or partner ball work, which emphasizes skill development and handling techniques. This phase is designed to enhance their proficiency with the ball, ensuring that they are well-prepared for the challenges ahead. Additionally, it will incorporate a variety of engaging challenge activities and Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) drills that are not only fun but also highly effective in building essential athletic skills. The primary goal during this phase is to ready the players both physically and mentally for the session to come, fostering a sense of enjoyment and boosting their confidence.

TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY

During the Technical Phase, players will focus on performing skills with the proper technique to execute them effectively under pressure. The training will specifically target core technical skills, including as diving, catching, parrying, and distributing the ball. Players learn the correct form and timing to handle different types of shots and crosses. High-intensity drills are designed to enhance reflexes, agility, and reaction time. These skills are critical for making quick saves and staying sharp throughout the game. The ultimate goal is to achieve comprehensive technical mastery in these key areas of the game.

TACTICAL APPLICATION

In the Tactical Phase, participants engage in a variety of structured small-sided exercises designed to help them apply their acquired technical skills from the previous phase in a demanding and dynamic environment. This stage introduces elements such as how to position themselves optimally in various game situations, including one-on-one challenges, set pieces, and through balls. Tactical awareness and reading the game are emphasized. By executing appropriate techniques at the right moments, participants not only reinforce their skills but also gain confidence in their ability to navigate real-game scenarios effectively.

SMALL SIDED PLAY

During the Open Play Phase, participants engage in small-sided games varying from 3v3 to 7v7, with little to no coaching intervention. This structure allows players to showcase their individual creativity, natural abilities, and their perspectives on gameplay and team interactions. Participants are encouraged to express themselves freely without the worry of failure, nurturing a love for the sport they cherish. Additionally, we like to introduce an extra element of competition in this phase to enhance two of our key player development pillars: mental fortitude and social skills.

SELECT SHOWCASE OPPORTUNITIES

The COE Program is a highly selective initiative that prioritizes excellence and comprises members who are motivated individuals with defined goals. While every player has the chance to try out for the program, the staff will work together to determine if it aligns well with the player's abilities. If deemed unsuitable, the player will be advised to develop their skills in one of our other programs until they are ready to enter the COE Program. Moreover, players who demonstrate outstanding performance within the program will be offered exclusive showcase and special ID event opportunities.
