About
Goalkeeper training
Goalkeepers are unique people, with a unique skillset and require unique training. Many of our aspiring goalkeepers do not receive the core, foundation skills training they require to develop safely and successfully at a young age. Certain skills such as head position, balance and footwork are the foundations to all goalkeeping skills.
#1 Coaching has been developed to address this training gap and assist schools, clubs and individuals develop goalkeeping skills from core basics to more advanced, contemporary techniques required in the the current game.
All goalkeepers receive a development plan, with tailored training to suit their level. We cater for goalkeepers from 5 - 18 years old and beginner to advanced, performance level.
Specialist attack and defence training
#1 take an integrated approach to coaching whereby the goalkeeper is part of a team, part of a system. Integrated training with attackers and defenders helps develop the goalkeeper and also gives invaluable training to outfield players - how to beat the goalkeeper, how to work in a defensive system with a goalkeeper.
#1 offer specialist attack and defence sessions. These are in groups of 10-15 players and include skills development, scenario replication and game play.
These sessions are very popular with individuals looking to grow their hockey knowledge, advance their skills or for a team to train in a fun, engaging environment. They are limited in size to ensure players receive focus and individual coaching in the group environment.
