Multi-Team Camp - Goalkeepers
The goalkeeper position requires specific individual attention. Our goalkeeping curriculum was designed by Alan Thompson (N.W. Regional School of Excellence, England) with technical input from Martin Prickett (Watford Football Club, England).
This goalkeeping curriculum has been designed to ensure that all goalkeepers experience a well-rounded camp experience. The sessions begin in a low pressure technical environment and build into game realistic situations. Goalkeepers will have numerous opportunities to face shooting practice from various teams at both the Varsity, JV and Freshmen level.
The Goalkeepers will spend the majority of the morning sessions away from their team and with the specific goalkeeper trainers. In the afternoons ,or for specific tactical sessions they will return to their teams. All keepers will return to their team in the afternoon for the scrimmage and tactical portion of the camp. Trainers will spend time during the sessions dealing with the extremely important issues of both concentration and confidence. Coaching in game situations and constructive feedback of performance will reinforce this point.
