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.

  • Ben has giving my Son 1-1 lessons for the past 10 months and the changes in his goalkeeping abilities has gone from strength to strength. The confidence my Son has gained since training with Ben is amazing. BDUK is not just a business it’s a community with the interaction of events they hold.

    Ben has coached me since around the age of 6 and has had a massive impact in my development as a goalkeeper in the last 10 years. His sessions work on specific aspects needed for the individual and keeping it as game specific as possible. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to develop your ability as a goalkeeper or simply looking for a session.

    In the few sessions I have had with Ben, it is already clear to see he is a great coach and will help me develop enormously as a goalkeeper. Our sessions are specific and focused on what I need to improve. They are perfectly tailored to what I want to work on and the intensity that I am used to, so that they are challenging, rewarding and extremely enjoyable! I highly recommend Ben to any goalkeeper of any age or ability that wants to take their game to the next level😊⚽️🧤

  • 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.

    Ronnie has been having 1-1 sessions since 2021 and had improved massively since starting with Ben. Ben knows Ronnie's personality inside out from just a few sessions and this means Ben gets the absolute best out of him everytime. Since working with Ben Ronnie has been offered opportunities with POSH and LCFC and I believe this wouldn't have happened without the 1-1s from Ben. The enthusiasm and encouragement from Ben keeps Ronnie wanting to come back time and time again and although Ben makes Ronnie work his absolute gloves off it shows how much he thoroughly enjoys his sessions. This year saw Ronnie enjoy his first time at a GK wars and although nervous at first he soon got stuck in and enjoyed every second again with mountains of encouragement and support from Ben and everyone else that was helping with the day. Also Ronnie although he has a ridiculous amount of pairs of gloves will only wear BDGK gloves as in his words they are THE BEST! I can't wait to see what 2023 brings. Thanks Ben for everything.
