FortyMile Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm a newbie on this forum but hope to stay here for a while, as the banter's good! My son is a promising young keeper. It's difficult to find out which professional clubs have the best coaches. There are a few clubs interested in him at the moment but it can be difficult to judge how good a coach might be if access to practices/training is restricted. It's relativel easy to gather information about coaches for outfield players but more difficult for keepers. Any information from your own experience would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Mittz Goalkeeping Academy is the best one to contact. It's run by Jim Stewart's 3 sons, Colin, Fraser and Ross. They have quite a few pro youth academy set ups throughout the country. http://www.mittzgk.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyMile Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks Rusty. That's really useful information. I was really wondering about professional clubs "in house" goalkeeping coaches, but that answers a large part of that question. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb7 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Highly recommend young mittz also! A fantastic set up run by the Stewart family, who have built a fantastic GK school and been very successful. You won't be disappointed and most importantly your child will love it and improve his skills. Win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortyMile Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Wilkinson. That's a fair point. I don't want to say which clubs are interested in him because to do so at this point on a public forum might not work in his best interests. Rules and regulations if you get my drift. I was hoping that maybe some subscriber had his boy in a club with a highly regarded GK coach as part of the staff. Sheep77. Thanks for the reference to Henry Smith. Do you have contacts? Thanks.
