No-Grip Training Goalkeeper Gloves – Why VOS Teneo Makes Match Day Easier

VOS Teneo gloves are the original no-grip goalkeeper training gloves, purpose-built to revolutionise how keepers train. By eliminating all palm grip, these gloves force you to rely on pure technique – resulting in cleaner catches, sharper reflexes, and unmatched confidence when it counts. In short, train harder now to make match day feel easy.

What Are VOS Teneo No-Grip Gloves?

VOS Teneo gloves are specialised goalkeeper training gloves with zero grip. Unlike conventional gloves with tacky latex palms, VOS Teneo uses a smooth, durable neoprene palm with no latex and no grip at all. They're intentionally slippery – think of the most rain-soaked match you've played, and imagine even less grip than that. This extreme design exposes any weaknesses in your catching technique, so you can correct them in training. VOS Teneo gloves aren't for matches – they're a training tool to develop elite skills that transfer to game day.


Why Training Without Grip Makes You a Better Goalkeeper

When your gloves don't help you, your technique has to. With no sticky palm to bail you out, every catch and parry demands proper form. VOS Teneo forces you to focus, adapt, and sharpen the fundamentals that actually win matches – hand shape, timing, positioning, reading the ball, mentality, and honest handling technique. In doing so, you develop elite handling technique through sheer practice and attention to detail. It's no surprise thousands of goalkeepers worldwide use VOS Teneo to build these elite habits.


What Makes VOS Teneo Different?

Zero Grip = Maximum Skill Development

With slippery palms, you can't cheat with latex. Each save must be clean, each touch deliberate, every movement precise. Training sessions that were routine suddenly become elite technical drills:

  • Perfect hand shape on every catch

  • Secure catching technique (no bobbles or fumbles)

  • Better handling control under all conditions

  • Quicker reaction adjustments to mis-hits or deflections

  • Pinpoint parry accuracy when you choose to punch or tip the ball aside

Goalkeepers repeatedly tell us:

“My match gloves feel unbelievably easy after training with VOS Teneo.”

In other words, once you've mastered catching with zero help from your gloves, your regular match gloves feel like a dream in comparison.


Improve Your Match Confidence

Train harder than you play, and the games will feel easy. In a survey of VOS Teneo users, 95% reported a boost in confidence going into matches – many within just 1–2 weeks of use. When your training is more challenging than the match, you step onto the pitch feeling prepared for anything. Confident keepers play better, and VOS Teneo is proven to build that confidence quickly.


Stronger, Smarter, More Adaptable Hands

Because the gloves give you no aid, your hands and fingers learn to work harder and smarter. Our survey showed that 97% of keepers saw improvement in their catching ability, and many reported noticeably stronger hands and improved focus. VOS Teneo gloves condition your hands to react and adjust like never before.


Mental Toughness & Growth Mindset

Using slippery gloves means you will drop a few balls in training – and that's the point. VOS Teneo helps develop confidence under pressure, resilience, match composure, and a growth mindset. In fact, 86% of surveyed keepers felt more mentally tough and better at handling mistakes after training with VOS Teneo.

Here are the most frequently asked questions...

Why are VOS gloves tight fitting?

VOS gloves are designed to fit like a second skin. They may feel snug at first, but after a few uses they loosen slightly and mould around your hand. A tight fit improves control, feel, and hand-to-ball connection.

Why do VOS gloves use 3mm latex instead of 4mm?

We use 3mm Pro Contact latex because it’s the perfect blend of feel and grip. It brings you closer to the ball while still delivering pro-grade grip in all conditions. Thicker latex dulls feedback and hides mistakes.

What’s new in the VOS 2.0 Volt range?

The 2.0 Volt range features a better fit, easier entry, and increased mobility.

We’ve added a gusset between the thumb and first finger, plus rolled thumb, first finger, and pinky finger to keep more latex in constant contact with the ball.

What are non-grip gloves?

Non-Grip Gloves are our Training glove (VOS TRAIN).

They're a goalkeeper glove with a super slippy palm that we designed specifically for training to help improve handling and focus (as well as many other benefits).

They make any task so much more difficult which forces goalkeepers to adapt to the constraint of no-grip.

They also have a super durable palm which means they can take the damage in training whilst you save your MATCH gloves for games.

And when you put your MATCH gloves back on... wow, things feel so much easier!

Do you make fingersave gloves?

No. We don’t believe fingersaves support long-term goalkeeper development. VOS gloves are designed to promote strong hand shape, clean contact, and confidence through control.

Can I use VOS Train gloves in matches?

No. VOS Train gloves have zero grip by design. They are a training tool, not a match glove. Using them in games would be… bold. VOS Train gloves exist to make match gloves feel effortless by comparison.

How do I wash VOS match gloves?

Rinse after every use with lukewarm water. Hand wash only. No machines, no harsh detergents.Air dry naturally away from heat.

How do I wash VOS Train gloves?

VOS Train gloves can go in the washing machine. Cold wash only, normal detergent, no fabric softener. Air dry naturally.

How do I prepare my match gloves for first use?

What type of latex do you use in VOS MATCH?

VOS MATCH gloves use 3mm Pro Contact latex, delivering elite-level grip with a close, second-skin feel. The thinner profile enhances ball contact and control.

Do Professional goalkeepers wear VOS gloves?

Yes. Professional goalkeepers use both VOS MATCH and VOS TRAIN gloves. In addition, several clubs use VOS TRAIN gloves across their entire goalkeeping department for daily training.

Can I use them on artificial pitches?

Yes, but we recommend using VOS MATCH gloves primarily for matches. Regular use on artificial pitches will increase wear on the latex. 

For training and frequent use on artificial surfaces, VOS TRAIN gloves are the better option.

But if you are going to use VOS MATCH when training on artificial turf, keep the palms more heavily dampened than on match days. Increased contact with the ball and turf means higher friction during sessions.

Why do VOS gloves have no Gussets?

VOS gloves are designed for a close, second-skin fit. Removing gussets reduces bulk between the fingers, improves feel on the ball, and allows for a more natural hand shape when catching. This design prioritises touch, control, and responsiveness over unnecessary padding.

Are these a lightweight glove?

YES! They are one of the lightest on the market at around 90g.
