Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): OWS GK Schedule

GK training

GK Training:

I've broken down the time slots for each age group. Thursday will be the only day gks of different age groups might end up together. This is on purpose to begin nurturing a positive and welcoming culture amongst the gks in the club. Older gks need to understand they are role models and younger gks need to understand the level of commitment being a gk requires.

I will encourage every gk to attend at least one full gk training session during the week, however every coach can adjust their gk's training time as they see fit. Every GK attending Tuesday and Wednesday WILL take part of the fitness and conditioning circuit with coach Niko so that will take up the first 15-20min of the time slot. In other words; If you send your gk to me for training one of those days and then call them back to you early they will only be getting a very small portion of gk specific training.

Tuesday, Wednesday - All Day: Gk training will be structured to run for full time slot, however coaches can choose to send gks for the whole session or only part of it then return to team training. I will need coaches to communicate with gks so they know if they're with me the whole time or not.

Thursday - Half day: Gk training will only run for 45 mins after that all gks will be sent back to their team training. Coaches, plan on having gks for the last part of your session.

Daily Breakdown:

Tuesday - All day - Heavy Load: Technical, Strength, Agility

Wednesday - All day - Heavy Load: Functional, Tactical, Technical

Thursday - Half day - Light Load: Retention, Social, Games and Challenges

Misc.

• If you'd like your gk to work on specific skill sets communicate with me please. Im open to feedback and ideas and all gks can benefit from any one specific aspect of training.
  
• I'd like to implement set pieces training during season training, reach out if you'd like to coordinate this.
