New Lambton Football Club is excited to announce the 2025 no-cost goalkeeping program designed for players from Under 8’s upwards. This initiative is dedicated to providing specialised training for aspiring goalkeepers, ensuring that every participant has access to high-quality coaching. The program is structured to introduce the fundamentals of goalkeeping, including shot-stopping techniques, proper positioning, communication skills, and agility drills, tailored to the unique needs of young players at different developmental stages.
The training sessions focus on building technical competence and fostering confidence in goalkeepers. Participants will learn to read the game, organise the defence, and handle high-pressure situations with composure. By emphasising individualised attention, experienced coaches will help each player improve their reaction times, hand-eye coordination, and overall decision-making on the field. This approach not only cultivates essential goalkeeping skills but also enhances the players’ understanding of team dynamics and strategy.
In addition to technical development, the program is designed to promote personal growth and social inclusion. Young athletes benefit from a supportive and fun learning environment that encourages teamwork, resilience, and leadership. The skills learned on the training ground translate into improved performance in match situations and contribute to the overall success of their teams. Moreover, by removing financial barriers, the program ensures that every aspiring goalkeeper, regardless of socioeconomic background, can pursue their passion for football.
Goalkeeper sessions are available to all players in New Lambton FC teams, from U8’s teams upward.
Each team has the opportunity to send along up to 2 players to the sessions, with each team also getting a set of goalkeeper gloves for each spot they are allocated in the training.
ONLY THOSE PLAYERS NOMINATED BY THEIR COACH / MANAGER ARE ABLE TO ATTEND.
