Story added: 8th September 2020

Evening session for 'keepers aged 6-14

The Community Sports Foundation are offering a FREE Goalkeeping Football Festival, allowing male and female goalkeepers from 6-14yrs the opportunity to attend a training session with our coaches and lead Goalkeeping staff at The Nest, in Horsford.

During the festival, staff will be looking to identify players to join the Foundation’s Football Development Programme.

The Football Development Programme is designed to help young talented footballers reach their full potential.

With age groups from U7 through to U16, our programme is tailored to give players the best opportunity to progress technically as a footballer and to help them develop socially and psychologically.

We deliver our Goalkeeping Football Development Programme across a three-tier system, through the Elite Player Development Centre (GK EPDC), the Player Development Centre (GK PDC) and the Goalkeeping Technical Centre (GTC).
