Community trust launch youth goalkeeper training

The Boreham Wood Community Trust is thrilled to announce the launch of weekly goalkeeping training following the upcoming October half term, beginning on Friday 8 November.

These specialist sessions will be hosted by Boreham Wood FC’s First Team Goalkeeping Coach Jordan Kelly, who is a UEFA B qualified goalkeeping coach. Jordan arrived at Boreham Wood in the summer from his native Guernsey where he worked across all ages from under 7’s up to senior football, as well as working within the Guernsey national team set-up.

Just like our other weekly training sessions, these sessions will be structured to improve budding goalkeepers in all areas of the specialist position, such as handling, positioning, techniques, save types and distribution, to name just a few.

Session topics will include, but are not limited to basic handling, positioning, 1-on-1’s, defending crosses, diving, in-possession distribution, save types, communication, decision making and match scenario practice.

Sessions will take place weekly during the school term, every Friday from 17:30 to 19:00 for 7–14 year-olds.

Each session will cost £10.00, with discounts available for half-termly block bookings. For the first half-term period, from Friday 8 November to Friday 20 December, there is a discounted block booking of £60.00.

If you have any further questions regarding the sessions, please email Jordan Kelly directly via jkelly@borehamwoodfootballclub.co.uk.
