Aim
This course aims to develop technical, tactical, physical, mental and social aspects that are required of the modern goalkeeper and goalkeeper coach.
Coaches gain greater knowledge of analysing, creating, organising, conducting and evaluating sessions in advanced skills, tactics, strategies and systems of play.
About
The final stage of our goalkeeper coach education pathway is our FAW/UEFA A Licence, Coaching Goalkeepers. It gives coaches an understanding of how to apply modern methods of sports science and research. In addition to the course contacts listed there will also be sessions which are held in micro groups and at clubs, with the support of UEFA Qualified FAW mentors, these contacts will be devised once candidates are placed into their micro groups following the first course contact. Coaches are continually assessed on their theory and practical ability.
Outcomes
This course prepares goalkeeper coaches for work in elite football.
