Evalutions will be offered to Goalkeepers who attend a minimum of 5 or more preseason sessions.
No refunds or credits will be provided for those who miss sessions without illness, injury, or family illness. See our COVID-19 Policy below. A positive COVID test will need to be provided and/or a doctor's note. Participants will be credited for Group Training with a 3-month expiration date.
Goalkeepers are divided into groups based on skill, fitness, and age. See description above to determine which group you and your goalkeeper would be a best fit.
We will be implementing strict COVID-19 precautions. Hand sanitizing stations will be set-up at each field. If players come in contact with or test positive for COVID or a family member within the same household does, we require all players to quarantine and come to training for 14-days. Credits will be considered as long as we have received written communication and proof of a positive COVID-19 test from the client. This can be emailed to info@richmondgoalkeepingacademy.com.
We are Rain or Shine. In the event of snow, ice, extreme cold below 18 degrees, extreme heat (dangerous heat indexes), thunder or lightning we will seize and/or cancel practice. If lightning or thunder occurs we may push training by 45-minutes if the storm looks like it will pass. Otherwise we will cancel training and open up our rain days to stretch training out.
Goalkeepers who attend 6 or more training sessions will receive a RGA Evaluation within 4-weeks after preseason is completed. Goalkeepers are evaluated on their progress through the program. Metrics we evaluate technical skills, physical skills, tactical skills, mental, social, and leadership skills.
