Each 3-day camp is packed with reps and Elite goalkeeper training to improve your goalkeeper's skillsets and knowledge for the game and position.
Training also includes daily on-field classroom training to help the goalkeepers expand their tactical and technical knowledge of the game.
This year we have extended the Goalkeepers training days to include 2 additional hours of training!
Why 3 days versus 5 days? Goalkeeper training and camps are intense. Unlike field player camps, Goalkeeper camps are filled with a lot diving, sometimes contact to contact, and various physically enduring drills. Goalkeepers need more rest and recovery for their bodies after intense training like this.
Our camps are fun, filled with great drills, and teaching lessons made for the the beginner goalkeeper on up to high school Elites. We have found that 3-days is the best fit for goalkeeper's recovery and injury prevention for the long-term.
