DEVELOPING GOALKEEPERS 2008



I am planning to run a goalkeeper development centre for 10 and 13 year olds for a trial period of 4 weeks on the third generation pitch at the Dub Pavilion, Belfast, each Saturday morning from 10.30 to 12.00.

To run this event successfully I would require approximately 10 goalkeepers.

The cost would be £5 per session. If you are interested in attending contact me ASAP so I can arrange a start date.

    Coles IFA

    David Coles, one of the best goalkeeping coaches in the world will be doing a two day goalkeeping coaching development clinic in Belfast on the 24th and 25th May 2008.

    The two day event will be useful for goalkeeping coaches to see how David goes about setting up coaching sessions and developing young goalkeepers from the ages of 9 to 16. David will be also working with Irish league goalkeepers on the second day.

    David is the current goalkeeping coach at Portsmouth Football Club and works with England’s number 1 goalkeeper David James. He was also the goalkeeping coach at Southampton Football Club where he worked with Antti Niemi.

    The coaching will take place at the DUB playing fields, Belfast. The cost will be £75, that includes lunch on both days. This is the first time that a goalkeeping coaching development event like this has been set up in Northern Ireland.

    I hope that I can get your support to make this event a success, so we can go on and build from this to supply the demanding coaching needs of our goalkeepers and coaches.

    If you are interested in attending the 2 days please drop me an e-mail at Alan@nigoalkeeping.com or contact me on mobile number 07799867762 or contact the IFA coaching department on 02890669458 for more details.

    I will need your Name, Age Address, Club and contact details and state if you are a coach or a goalkeeper. There will be a limited number of places on this course so don’t delay.
