We also offer coaching support. Scroll to learn more.

WHAT'S BEST FOR ME?
1to1
SESSIONS
Our 1 to 1 sessions are without a doubt the most valuable hour of work you’ll put in all week! We adapt and alter each session based upon the GK’s level of development and personal objectives. 1 to 1’s allow us time to fully teach correct technique and iron out any weaknesses that you may have so as over time, you can become a confident shot-stopper. We provide 1 to 1’s with GK’s ranging from as young as 7 all the way to 60 year old Walking Football GK’s.
SMALL
GROUP
Throughout the year we host weekly small group classes all over Dundee, Perth, Fife and Angus. Our group sessions are a bit different to others in that we limit the Coach/GK ratio to 1:4, this allows us to provide individualised advice to each GK throughout the session to ensure they all continue to develop and adopt positive behaviours and attitudes inside of a fun, safe and engaging environment.
CLUB DEVELOPMENT
Educating clubs, coaches and players on the importance of Goalkeepers is a big part of what we do. For years, Goalkeeper training has fallen far behind the level of training given to outfielders, causing countless Goalkeepers to not reach their full potential. Through our partnerships with local and international clubs, we work with the whole clubs Goalkeeper setup using our BGK Club Curriculum to provide the building blocks which will allow them to push on and become confident shot-stoppers.
