Mission

Our mission is to provide an environment where committed goalkeepers can develop a working understanding of the position of tending goal.  A properly trained goalkeeper can affect the out come of a game in greater proportion than any other player on the field.

Areas that will be covered over the course of the year for the Goalkeeper sessions are:

- foot work
- angle play
- field of play
- judgment on crosses
- one on one breakaways
- increased foot speed
- proper weight distribution
- covering for low/high attempts at goal
- distribution as the first point of attack

By attending these session, Goal Keepers will gain a better understand of the position, their strengths, and how to improve their game.
