We are delighted to launch the Coerver® Coaching Goalkeeping programme in Scotland.

For over 33 years Coerver® Coaching has been the leader globally in the development of young players through our unrivalled ‘Coerver® Player Development System’. We are pleased to introduce our new Goalkeeping specific curriculum and our ‘Pyramid of Goalkeeping’.

To head up our new programme, we welcome Ross Ballantyne as our new Head of Goalkeeping. Ross is a full time professional goalkeeping coach currently working with first team goalkeepers at Livingston FC as well as being Lead Academy Goalkeeping coach at Hearts FC. An SFA Goalkeeping license diploma and UEFA B License holder. Ross is currently sitting his UEFA A goalkeeping licence, Ross has also been responsible for the development of his own Goalkeeping Academy, Savehands Goalkeeping in Glasgow.  

Ross said ‘I am very pleased and excited to join up with the world renowned Coerver® Coaching. I look forward to the partnership and delivering the Coerver® Goalkeeping Pyramid to the goalkeepers, coaches and clubs via our specialised coaching program or coach education.’  

‘Our programme will give all Goalkeepers the opportunity to develop their essential core skills whilst training in a progressive, challenging, and enjoyable environment, giving our keepers the edge’

Our new Goalkeeping programme will kick off with 1 day Camps in Edinburgh, Perth, West Lothian, and Fife during the Easter holidays. For EASTER CAMP INFO CLICK here.

Coerver® Scotland Technical Director Joe Jones was pleased to see the announcement of the programme, he said ‘It is essential that we develop a certain type of goalkeeper, to be able to play as part of a Coerver® Team. Our Coerver® Box Trap team style relies very much on an attacking, positive, proactive, modern goalkeeper, who is comfortable in possession of the ball but also has the traditional qualities of top keepers’

‘Scotland has a great tradition of developing outstanding goalkeepers over many years, we look forward to contributing to developing Goalkeepers across the country’

The new Goalkeeping programme will be open to individual goalkeepers as well as to clubs. We will also shortly announce our first Goalkeeping Coach Education course.
