Youth coaching (u7-16)

HertsGK provides a complete youth goalkeeper development pathway for boys and girls of all ages and abilities, from grassroots goalkeepers through to current academy players.

We now offer 1-to-1 coaching, weekly youth group sessions, girls-only goalkeeper groups, advanced small-group training, holiday development sessions, and invite-only sessions for current academy goalkeepers across our locations. Our sessions are designed to give young goalkeepers the technical detail, confidence, game understanding, and specialist support needed to progress in the position.

For grassroots to academy goalkeepers, read below to see some of the young goalkeepers we work with and what they have to say about our sessions.

Jake has worked with and developed youth goalkeepers of all ages and abilities, including overseeing players’ progression from grassroots football into academy environments. He has worked with several elite youth goalkeepers, including Arlo Doherty, Manchester City & Ireland Youth; Jonathan Macauley, Watford FC; Taylor Arnett, MK Dons; and Sammy Thompson, Tottenham Hotspur, among many others.

Our 1-to-1 coaching sessions are tailored to each goalkeeper’s individual needs, allowing players to focus on specific areas of their game in a detailed, high-quality environment. Sessions are built around the goalkeeper’s age, ability, goals, and current development needs, helping them improve all aspects of their performance.

Alongside 1-to-1 coaching, our weekly group sessions, girls-only groups, advanced small-group sessions, and invite-only sessions for current academy goalkeepers create a competitive but supportive environment where goalkeepers can develop their technique, decision-making, athleticism, communication, confidence, and matchday habits.

We offer sessions across multiple locations, including Hemel Hempstead, Enfield, Wembley, Harrow, Woking, and other expanding HertsGK locations. Get in contact for more information or to book now.
