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.

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.

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😊⚽️🧤

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!

Pippa has gone from strength to strength as a goalkeeper since she began training with Ben about two years ago, her courage and confidence is outstanding and that’s down to the training and encouragement she has received from Ben. She takes part in both girls and boys training as well as 1:1 sessions and gets something different from each one. If your child is interested in learning more about being a goalkeeper we’d strongly recommend Ben, his teaching style and encouragement really resonates with the kids and it’s so nice to see a training session where all the players pay attention and give their all! Pippa suffered a broken wrist whilst in goal and she now uses Ben’s gloves which give her so much more confidence and have helped her maintain her courageous saves! All of this confidence and skills learnt are put to good use as Pippa plays for her grassroots team as well as her school and Norwich City Development Team. And if you’re still not convinced, have a look at Ben’s Keeper Wars Tournament, what an amazing positive experience! #TeamBDGK #ThisGirlCan

Ben is a fantastic coach and has helped Amelia improve massively. Along with his Assistants, Ben creates a friendly and inclusive atmosphere and Amelia always enjoys herself
