Keeper Clinic - Ages 7-12 - Designed to enhance the technique of young keepers with a fun, form-based learning approach.  Time will be focused on each keeper's area of need, based on each keeper's level of ability and experience. All keepers will be introduced to the importance of footwork, starting position and diving form. The program is designed to get beginners comfortable with technique, while challenging the experienced keepers to expand their coverage of the penalty area.

Advanced Keeper Clinic - Ages 11-17 - This clinic is designed for keepers with multiple years of playing experience, and keepers that have attended or received GK training in the past. We will work on tactical, technical, mental and physical aspects of the GK position. Individualized training will focus on catching form, angle play, distribution, footwork, decision making, and communication. The demands of a GK as they move towards and continue to defend the 11 v 11 penalty area. The goal is to provide every GK with the tolls they need to continue to improve after the conclusion of the clinic. All GK will learn how to best prepare fro a match and how to improve the training they receive at team training during their soccer season
