Just4keepers is ready to help you become a better keeper.

Just4Keepers will be offering training for small groups. There will be no more than 8 goalkeepers in a group. This type of training will be very different than what you experience at your clubs. Goalkeepers will be trained the same as they would if they were all playing for the same team. They will support and challenge each other.  You will gain a lot of touches and time in goal. All goalkeepers will not only have time in goal but will be responsible for distribution as well. This means more involvement throughout the training session and less standing around. This will be a unique training environment that very few youth goalkeepers get to experience. If you or your child is serious about developing solid goalkeeping skills J4k is here to help achieve your goals. Training is available for all goalkeepers 10 and up. If you are a University player please contact us for specialized training.

What we’re about

Goalkeeping is about doing the basics well and at a consistent level. We will always be reviewing and building upon a strong base in our development. Please refer to our pyramid of learning below. (click to enlarge)You will be developed throughout the program. Each session will have a specific topic or focus. As we move through our sessions your skills and confidence will continue to build. This type of training is for those who are serious about becoming the best goalkeepers they can be. You will be pushed and held accountable for how you play. Coaches have over a decade of coaching experience combined with a lifetime of playing experience. If you want to take your game to the next level we can help you get there.

Background:

I was always that kid who couldn’t wait to put up their hand when coaches asked who wanted to play in goal. I’ve had a passion for this amazing position as long as I can remember. I grew up in the Lower Mainland playing for Provincial teams and eventually moving on to play at a NCAA Div 1 school as a starter and captain.

I graduated University with a BSc in Physical Education k-12 and taught in High School for 5 years. In addition to my education degree I also hold a FA Level 2 and Canadian B Provincial coaching licenses. Along with a US Soccer Goalkeeping License.

Testimonials:

“Adrienne has worked with me as a goalkeeper for the past 2 summers. Her knowledge and experience has helped me develop my skills more than I could have ever imagined. She is respected by all of her players for her expertise, and incorporates drills that challenge the abilities of all of her goalkeepers. Her passion and excitement about coaching is inspiring. Some of her drills are so much fun that I forget how hard I am working until I stop and realize that I am out of breath (and not always from laughing). She has given me the skills and confidence I need to succeed at the university level. I am honoured to have had the chance to work with such a top-class coach. Adrienne is very personable and truly cares about her keepers as both players and people. She has taught me so much, in particular that no matter what the skill level is, it is always important to keep my head up and focus on the basics.”

“Throughout the past 3 years of my goalkeeper training i myself and others around me had seen a drastic Improvement in my ability to perform as a keeper. My reflexes, positioning, handling and most of all my ability to handle the pressure has changed for the better. The person responsible for my improvement was goal keeper coach, Adrienne Cook. Throughout my youth career never have i come across such a dedicated goalkeeper coach; who no matter what your skill level is, brings you back to the basics and builds on your skill from the ground up. I believe this is because not only is she a qualified goal keeper coach but her background in education gives her the tools needed to build on players making them go from zero to hero. I’ve seen her work not only with me but many goalkeepers around me turning them into the best goalkeeper versions of themselves. Overall, it was been a privilege to train with Adrienne and i recommend anyone who’s looking to improve themselves to turn directly to her.”

“After a few months of our daughter starting her training with Adrienne, we saw a dramatic increase in our daughter’s technical skills and confidence. Adrienne puts together a program which covers all aspects of goaltending while providing integrity and respect towards each other, themselves and the game. She not only relates well to her students, but also manages to pull the best out of them. Based on our own daughter’s experience, we recommend Adrienne to any parent seeking goaltending training for their daughter or son.”
