Goalkeeping Masterclass

Elite training. Real-game analysis. Individual attention. Take your goalkeeping to the next level at the Sharks Goalkeeping Masterclass—a one-day, high-performance workshop designed for dedicated goalkeepers aged 8 to 18.

Led by Nathan Denham, Sutherland Sharks’ Head Goalkeeping Coach and mentor to some of Australia’s top keepers, this program blends intensive technical coaching with tactical video analysis used at the highest levels of the game.

Split across two age-specific workshops to ensure appropriate challenge and support, the Masterclass delivers a targeted, professional experience in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Program Schedule

Video Analysis – 30 mins

We begin in the classroom, using match footage from the FIFA Club World Cup to analyse real goalscoring moments. Players will explore the key technical and tactical themes of the day, building their understanding of positioning, decision-making, and anticipation before heading onto the pitch.

Session 1 – 1 hr 15 mins

Focused on shot stopping, 1v1 scenarios, and applying insights from video analysis. Players will sharpen their reflexes, improve diving technique, and learn how to stay composed under pressure in close-range situations.

Session 2 – 1 hr 15 mins

Covers cutbacks, crosses, and distribution—helping players become more confident when dealing with high balls and delivering accurate passes and throws. Game management and leadership will also be reinforced throughout.
