About Elite Goalkeeping UK

A history of how Rudi Coleano started Elite Goalkeeping UK in 2002

Passing on the Knowledge

After nearly 22 years of being retired from full-time professional football due to a serious shoulder Injury, after the heart-breaking reality, it was hard to come to terms with my career ending Injury so early on.

Goalkeeping is in my blood and there was no escaping that fact. In my time at Barnsley F.C. experiencing life in the “Premiership” for a brief season I was very fortunate enough to be coached by one of the top Goalkeeping coaches in the country at the time in the name of “Eric Steele” who later went on to become Manchester Utd 1st Team GK Coach, I also had the pleasure of training with David Watson on a daily basis - England’s former U21 and Barnsley’s 1st Team Keeper back in the day and who was later to become a senior member of the F.A England Goalkeeping Coaching staff at St Georges Park.

Elite Goalkeeping UK was born

Since my retirement I decided on setting up my own Goalkeeping school and passing on my knowledge and experience I gained working alongside some of the BEST coaches and Pedigree in the business as a young professional.

Most young Goalkeepers of today are sadly neglected through no fault of their own when it comes to their team’s training sessions through the lack of knowledge of the outfield coaches, no disrespect to any outfield coaches but this is why Goalkeeping Coaching is such a specialised and unique area especially today in the modern game where we can support the role of coaches from a goalkeeping prospective and work closely with defensive requirements in game scenarios at all levels.

Some coaches try their best to involve Goalkeeper’s but they need to be taught the correct habits, skills, and technique so these skills can be practised in game environments. The true fact of the matter is Goalkeepers of today’s game is advancing more and more each year and requires “SPECIALISED” Goalkeeper training, from the every technical aspect…

  • Confidence Building
  • All types of Distribution - First touch
  • Conditioning - Fitness
  • Agility
  • Speed and explosive power
  • Handling and punching techniques
  • Blocking and Split block techniques
  • Footwork and balance
  • Hand and eye coordination
  • Starting positions
  • Vocal commands
  • Decision making
  • Dealing with crosses / Free kicks
  • Dealing with One V One’s
  • Dealing with Back passes under pressure and switching play

…the list of areas goes on and on and can never be practised enough..
