About SHS
Safe Hands Soccer is a forward thinking, progressive and holistic soccer development company. SHS moves beyond pure skills training and supports the overall development of the player by offering all elements of soccer development such as:
• Elite sports mental conditioning
• Soccer specific body conditioning – agility, explosive power and strengthening
• Professional skills development and structured training
• Soccer specific nutritional support
• Player personal development – life skills, education and life outside sport
• Player career development and support
SHS is committed to the overall development of soccer and specifically to the development from the grass roots level as SHS acknowledges that this is where the future soccer stars are born. SHS is not a club and as stated above is focused in the overall development of South African soccer by offering support services.
The major focus for SHS is the element of active talent spotting, however this is not enough as once that talent is identified the extra support of nurturing and developing that talent is needed.
SHS is involved in multiple areas of soccer development:
• Goalkeeper open evenings training
• One on one goalkeeper coaching with Andre Arendse (amateur to elite)
• Soccer clinics and workshops
• Specialist soccer training at schools/universities/clubs (support coaches & players)
• Community soccer projects
