Last night i had my first training session with my new jpl team did anyother people have any kind of training yesterday?

Training this week has been delayed because of the horrible weather from this weekend

This is a comment I hear alot and was once asked by a coach "how do i help a goalkeeper kick better" on a UEFA C course.....well its actually simpler than it sounds. BUT it requires patience. The first thing you have to remember is that most kids aren't physically strong enough in the right areas of the lower body to achieve the desired outcome. Secondly you have to pay attention to the technique and ball flight. Start small. With the appropriate sized ball get the keeper to chip the ball into your hands over a distance of 12 yards. This will install confidence and allow easier practice repetition. Build up the distance in sensible increments until max power/control is achieved. Bare in mind that it may not be very far at first.

Huge congratulations to Sammy and Abbie for gaining GK of the term at their Ampro goalkeeping sessions. Both have shown outstanding commitment and desire to learn throughout with high discipline levels.....well done and enjoy the new kit

Wilson’s GK training last week, he’s mindset has been so much better over the last few months. I can tell he’s really trying to work hard and keep putting the effort in. The other day Wilson asked me if he was good enough to join an academy one day 🥺 he’s always loved his football but never spoke about doing anymore than Sunday grassroots.
