Basic diving PRIVATE TRAININGWe at HGA
believe it's very important for goalkeepers to have the opportunity to do
1-to-1 sessions. This enables us to cater to each individual goalkeeper,
focusing purely on the goalkeeper's personal needs in an environment
where they are not influenced by other goalkeepers or peers. There is no long-term commitment. Players can
book in for as many sessions as they choose. Our 1-to-1
sessions are based upon an initial personal assessment of the
4-Corner model of the goalkeeper, assessing the goalkeeper's current
development in each of the four corners and constructing a program to
develop the individual's skills. They are an
excellent addition to a players' team training sessions and aim to give
players the competitive edge required to move to the next level. We offer a wide
range of 1-to-1 packages for goalkeepers of all ages, genders and abilities;
improving goalkeepers technically, tactically, physically and psychologically
as we at HGA believe, that to be the best goalkeeper, you require these all
of skills and attributes. Technical Training ·

soccer field with permission from club official, and at public places such a
park with flat area. The basic requirement for space is minimum of 15-20
yards square. Our clients that used our private training services have
preferred the home location for convenience and to avoid the overhead cost
(field rental). However, any training done at home location 25 miles or more
away from HGA office will be charged for additional fee. The indoor training
can be done at PISA (Pittsburgh Indoor Sports Arena), preferably mornings
when the rental fee is at lowest possible rate plus the cost of instruction. If

please contact the office at (412) 486-8284 or call directly to my cell at
(412) 719-1485 or email for estimates, scheduling training appointment and
location options. GROUP TRAINING
Group training
is an excellent environment to further develop goalkeeping skills. Players
are able to work together and help each other improve. In group training
sessions, we are able to introduce multi-player drills. Goalkeepers are able to
train and compete with goalkeepers of the same age and ability. Group
training sessions provide a positive and competitive environment for
developing goalkeepers. This training format is a popular choice for
organizations such as clubs, schools, YMCA, Community Recreation, and other community organizations Small Group
Training (3-4 goalkeepers): $30.00 per hour per person. Medium Group
Training (5-8 goalkeepers): $25.00 per hour per person. Large Group
Training (9-16 goalkeepers): $20.00 per hour per person. For more than 17 keepers, please call for details. Larger groups are welcome, however a second staff member
will be required for over 12 goalkeepers, as the required ratio is no more than
12 to 1. This would require an additional fee to cover the cost for another
coach. Another way to accommodate more than 12 goalkeepers is to schedule an
additional hour, and to divide the total number of goalkeepers between these
two hours. (8 GKs per coach ratio or less is our preferred ratio). The 12 to
1 ratio is our maximum in large group training in order for goalkeepers to
have the attention they need in training. Call
(412) 486-8284 / (412) 719-1485 or email for estimates, scheduling training appointment
and location options. Speed

Therefore, if you are not yet in college, it will give you a little taste of
what to expect from playing in college and if you are already in college, it
will get you fit for your upcoming season! The program is all about
goalkeeper training and fitness. Every exercise that you will do will be in
front of the goal and the focus will be on being technically and mentally
sharp. You will be placed in different simulated situations and see how well
you perform and make decisions. Having the element of fitness testing is
another way that players will be prepared for college. Players will take two
different fitness tests throughout the week and an emphasis will be getting
them match fit and sharp. Every player will be treated like a
"mini-pro" and Coach Hare will work to build personal "ONE on
