Camp & coach
At several clubs, Maarten Arts has been invited to train the goalkeepers as well as to conduct a coaching clinic. The Camp & Coach program consists of 4 days including:
- 8 training sessions with the club’s youth goalkeepers. Each session lasts 1.5 hours.
- 4 theory evenings for the coaches of the youth academy. During the first 3 evenings, the oldest youth goalkeepers may also attend the coaching sessions.
- On the final coach clinic, the topic is: integrating goalkeepers into team training sessions. For this evening, all youth coaches of the club are invited, but the club’s youth goalkeepers are not allowed to attend.
This formula ensures that in a short period (4 days), both the goalkeepers and the coaches are trained in all aspects of modern football, which places very high demands on both keepers and their coaches.
In addition to technical aspects such as “attacking the ball,” a lot of attention is also given to playing with the feet (both right and left), positioning, and decision-making.
To the club’s coaches, who can assist during the training, I demonstrate that even with 8 goalkeepers of different ages and levels, you can still create a valuable and effective training session.
