GOALKEEPERS PROGRAM
Led by our GK Lead Coach Constantino Tadres: VIEW PROFILE, the MVFC goalkeepers program is designed to develop young prospects in a holistic manner, so that they are able to meet the expectations of a modern goalkeeper.
Our curriculum adapts to the age and the level of each goalkeeper and is focused on developing and enhancing the following key aspects:
- Defensive technique, including hand-work, shot-stopping and 1v1 challenges.
- Positioning
- Aerial play
- Distribution
- Preventive role (i.e. defending forward and active attitude to read the game and anticipate and kill potential threatening situations)
- Decision-making in each one of the previous aspects of the game
- Physical attributes, relevant to the GK position
- Communication skills
- Psychological skills
Training is carried out in the following formats, mainly:
- Specific GK training
- Within team training (and the GK coach working with the GK simultaneously)
- Video analysis
Same as any player in our Academy, our goalkeepers have individual development plans, consisting of a self-evaluation, assessment, action plan and delivery, for further reassessment and resumption of the cycle.
Outside of our GK regular program, Melbourne Villarreal Academy offers individual training sessions to players who wish to top up their weekly schedule. CLICK TO VIEW
GOALKEEPING TESTIMONIALS
"Consta and the goalkeeping academy at Monash Villarreal have created a supportive yet challenging environment where our son has been able to develop both technically and mentally.
Beyond technical proficiency, Consta emphasises important values like teamwork and perseverance. Under his guidance, our son has developed a sense of responsibility and discipline, which has translated into improved focus and dedication to his football. Time has been taken to understand my son’s strengths and areas for improvement, providing personalised feedback that is both constructive and encouraging.
I highly recommend Consta to any parent looking for a coach who values skill development, character building, and a positive learning environment"
Emma
“My son has been involved with MVFC and Constantino for two seasons and there has been a noticeable improvement throughout.
Consta has a big focus on developing the core skills through a variety of drills and team training, with a clear development plan for every player.
Players are provided with lots of positive reinforcement whilst always being pushed to go further and faster.”
Steve
“It is a privilege to be coached by Constantino at Monash Villarreal FC.
Both of my boys are extremely happy and feel as they progressed immensely since they began to be trained by Constantino.
Oz is a goalkeeper at an A-League Academy and he still longs to be coached by Constantino.
Training sessions are professional and provide actual development.
As a parent and as a former goalkeeper, I am very pleased with and highly recommend it.”
Ricardo
“My son has been training in the GK Academy of Monash Villarreal for over six months, and he always returns from sessions both happy and exhausted.
Constantino is not only an excellent goalkeeper but also a fantastic coach for our kids.
He covers modern goalkeeping techniques and also focuses on overall fitness. After my son’s recent injury, he needed a rehabilitation course, and Constantino has been actively involved in helping him recover both physically and mentally.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have him as a coach.”
