Hi. Im a complete novice here seeking glove advice please. I’ve read over some of the posts already on and am considering Shok Shields for my son. He’s 12 and has slim hands and long fingers so it looks like roll finger seems the good choice. He currently has a pair of OG1 Type G that really weren’t cheap but he’s not keen as he feels they fit tight (these seem to be Hybrid cut so confused now if roll finger will fit tighter?) What he does wear is the (free!!) OG DRK Cell pair that he finds comfortable but have very little support, I can’t find anywhere what cut these are. He’s had a few knocks recently and ends up coming off injured so we are looking for a good supportive pair so he feels more secure and hopefully keep battling on. Finger spines were suggested but I’m reading a lot against these now. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Keepers and Parents As you probably know, goalkeeping is a VERY LONELY position for both keepers and parents. If you are a parent who has no idea how to help your child, let the leading goalkeeper coaching school since 1998 hold you and your child by the hand. We have helped hundreds of keepers go pro or gain USA scholarships. For example, Adam Davies, who plays for Wales and was in the 2022 World Cup, is an ex-J4K student.

Does anyone else put a camera in or behind the goal? Just curious what setups people use, if any. I usually stick a GoPro on a tripod behind Jack’s goal (photo is the view we get).
