About Pro-SK
Find out about Pro-SK and discover our history. Read about our keeperschools and goalkeeping camps. And how we became a leading authority on soccer goalkeeper coaching and player development.
Pro Soccer Keeper was established in 1996 by Fred Barber, ex-BWFC & Northern Ireland soccer goalkeeping coach. Barber made over 400 professional career appearances for UK Soccer Clubs before establishing himself as a top-flight coach.
More commonly known as Pro-SK the company was formed to provide specialist goalkeeper training to players of all ages and abilities. Our aim was to provide professional goalkeeper coaching and create greater opportunities for progression into the professional game.
Over the past twenty-five years Pro Soccer Keeper has worked with a multitude of English Premier League & English Football League clubs. Our unique goalkeeper training program has helped to launch, mentor and sustain the careers of several top-flight pro soccer keepers.
The Pro-SK goalkeeper team sheet is a list of who’s who. Our hall of fame includes Liverpool’s Adam Bogdan, Ex- Man Utd & Polish International Tomasz Kuszczak, Oman International Ali Al-Habsi, Ex- BWFC, West Ham Utd & Finland International Jussi Jaaskelainen, Bournemouth and England U21 international Aaron Ramsdale and many more.
