Goalkeepers Workshops

Robbie Yates (Dorset County FA Community Coach) delivered two workshops around the County to upskill grassroots goalkeepers in coaching this specialist position.

The first workshop took place on Tuesday 1 September 09 at Sturminster Newton United Football Club and attracted 18 coaches. Players from across all different age groups from the Football Club participated practically on the evening.

The following evening's workshop took place at Corfe Mullen Recreation Ground. Despite the awful weather conditions there were 21 coaches from a variety of Clubs throughout the County. The players from Corfe Mullen United Juniors were put through their paces by Robbie in a mixture of technical and skills related practices.

Feedback from the event has been extremely positive, including:

'Robbie has been great, very clear, honest and gives an element of fun to the training!'
'Very good, has made me want to get involved in goalkeeper coaching.'
'Despite the poor weather conditions, was well worth attending; many thanks!'

Dorset FA would like to thank the two Clubs - Sturminster Newton United FC and Corfe Mullen United Juniors FC for hosting the in-service and supplying the players for the practical element of the evening.
