Session Structure - In Season

Order of Priority 

Our structured training sessions ensure a holistic development approach. We categorise our sessions into 3 sections. 

Injury Prevention 

Implementing dynamic stretches and warm-up exercises to minimize injury risk.

Scenario Based Training

Creating drills that simulate real-game situations for better decision-making goalkeepers. Increasing the realism throughout the session, while maintaining relatively high repetitions 

Complex Training

Complex training is used at various times within the training block. This consists of high repetitions and moderate levels of realism
