At Giffnock we run specialist Goalkeeper training for kids from 8 years at the Muirend Cages on a Friday evening - 18:30 - 19:45.

Certified SFA Goalkeeper Coaches will take the kids through -:
the 3 Golden Rules of Goalkeeping ,
skills and technique practise,
equipment advice
and assessments on recent performances ( using positive Coaching)

and most importantly, we have FUN diving around.
