Course on German style of goalkeeping for I-League coaches

The instructors for this course, organised by Western India Football Association under the aegis of All India Football Federation and the German Olympic Federation, are Lutz Pfannenstiel and Feliz Imm, a media release said today.

AIFF's Technical Director (Academies), Scott O'Donell, would also conduct the programme along with the German duo for the benefit of coaches of I-League clubs and academies across the country who are to attend the event.

The coaching programme includes theory as well as practical sessions and the participants would be introduced to the German way of goalkeeping, the release added.

"The German instructors who are conducting this programme have a great reputation and are well respected across the world," said WIFA secretary Souter Vaz.

"This is a great initiative. This course will be the first of many such activities that will take place at Cooperage in the coming months," added WIFA CEO Henry Menezes.
