Grayson heads to Portsmouth for his first JPL game, well technically it is a Hampshire County Cup Game so opposition our a div one grass roots team. So should be a fair contest as a start for a team of U11’s stepping into U12 who have yet to play together

What’s a good diving tips

Guys, GOOD LUCK this weekend - (If you are playing) If your not playing, what you have planned. Lets INSPIRE each other! I will be starting a new kit website. Ray

I see far too much rigid tactics in what youth coaches are trying too implement. Whether it is the showcasing of professional clubs and the associated flow down from academy football. JPL and 3G football is awash with playing from the back. Now I am a big fan of a goalkeeper being comfortable acting as a false centre back when in possession and playing short from kicking positions (static or hands). However team coaches are missing the critical piece of coaching GK from a gk position on the pitch. Then they can help the gk make the right decision based on player movement in reality. If the outfield playera are not dropping and splitting or stepping up , then an idealistic coaching model from the sidelines falls flat. To which a coach should applaud a GK for going long as opposed to berating them for not applying their model of play. differing styles for differing moments?

Guys, we are one step closer to starting the J4K Elite Goalkeeper Training Events. However, instead of just picking a location, where it could be a long drive for most, we are going live with the below page, where you can go on the waiting list. Also, what this allows J4K to do, is see were the locations are from interested keepers - We can then look to run a camp nearer to your location. As we plan to run these events across the UK, Ireland , USA and Canada, please add your detail if you are from these countries. Please check out https://just4keepers.aweb.page/j4k-elite-events IMPORTANT: There is NO coaching at these events, it is intense training, - basically we will train you like a professional goalkeeper trains, so these events are not for everyone. So please only put your name down for the waiting list, if you have a good level of fitness and you are not a beginner. Who Is up for Getting Put Through Their Paces 👊 Ray
