BEN DERBYSHIRE GK

Developing Goalkeepers of all Abilities

WELCOME

Welcome to Ben Derbyshire GK, a goalkeeping academy based in Peterborough and surrounding areas. Historically goalkeepers have been somewhat of a neglected species when it comes to training. At Ben Derbyshire GK we provide specialised, goalkeeper specific training and coaching with the aim of helping all our goalkeepers reach their full potential from grassroots football to the professional game.

We offer a variety of session types, meaning we can cater to all abilities and training preferences and tailor sessions to maximise their benefit. We are the only FA approved provider of goalkeeper coaching in the area, having recently obtained the approved provider accreditation from the Hunts FA. That means that when you attend any of our sessions you can rest assured that you or your child are receiving top quality coaching from coaches that have up to date qualifications, certificates and insurances.

With over 1000 goalkeepers spread over the Peterborough, Cambridge and South Lincolnshire areas having benefited from Head Coach, Ben Derbyshire’s 15 years coaching experience, BDGK is the premier goalkeeping coaching specialist for all enthusiastic and eager keepers.

  • My son Caleb is an extremely nervous child who hates new situations and new people. He started goalkeeping at the beginning of this season and decided he wanted some specific training for his role. Being his coach we found we butt heads on loads of occasions so decided to give Ben Derbyshire GK a try. On the way to his first session he turned to me and said ‘mum I won’t know anyone so I’m scared’. We got there and the coaches came to greet Caleb into the group and got him involved straight away. He finish the session absolutely buzzing and made a new friend. Since then he looks forward to his GK training every week and every week he is making new friends. He love it. The coaches are all fantastic and they really support each and every child too and give them feedback. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for GK training. So much so now my eldest want to go too (he doesn’t even play in goal) Thank you to all the team at Ben Derbyshire GK for all of your support ⚽️👍🥅

    Since Oscar started goalie lessons / camps his confidence and determination has grown so much. This has helped him when in games and saving those important goals. He has loved every minute and always asking when the next camp/session is on. Ben has always given his all to every kid and pushing them to reach their limits and believe in themselves. Thank you Ben

  • Ben instills confidence into my son and has a patient and friendly approach. I’ve watched numerous sessions, whether it be 1-2-1 or group and have always left feeling impressed. And more importantly… my son always leaves a session looking forward to the next. I couldn’t speak highly enough about Ben and his goalkeeping sessions and would definitely recommend

    Millie had a great first session with Ben yesterday. Although she was nervous at first he put her at ease quickly and I know these lessons will really help her and her team!

    Harry loves training with Ben- he has the best time and comes home full of it! Ben’s sessions are well organised and full of content aimed to challenge Harry but also he has so much fun. Since having sessions with Ben he is so much more confident and understands techniques now, which he uses in his Under 9 games. Other parents have commented on how much Harry has improved in this time too. Thank you Ben for putting so much into your sessions- your enthusiasm and praise makes such a difference to him.
