About Proactive Goalkeeping

Proactive Goalkeeping only works with professional goalkeeping coaches and former players so you can be confident that young goalkeepers are benefitting from the best level coaching available within grassroots football. All keepers are coached in small groups to ensure they all receive individual attention from the coach throughout the session. Unlike many other goalkeeper coaching sessions available, Proactive Goalkeeping is not a franchise and all sessions are overseen by our Head Coach Mikhael, a professional goalkeeper, to ensure all players are receiving his support to improve and develop their game
