Description The Goalkeeper Academy offers a highly competitive training atmosphere for goalkeepers to refine their technical skills and be challenged in tactical game related situations. A unique advantage to this camp is that it is run in conjunction with the Jr. Elite and Elite Training field player camps. This gives the goalkeepers the opportunity to apply and practice their refinements in daily 6 v 6 and 11v11 competitions. Goalkeepers will be introduced to practice sessions used to train collegiate and elite GKs. They will focus on improving footwork, making technical adjustments, and most importantly advancing their decision making in pressure situations. A thorough GK specific evaluation will be giving to every GK at the end of camp. In addition campers will also receive a camp T-shirt, GK training shirt, and a camp ball.
Elite GK campers will be exposed to college coaches from Division I, II and III schools and will have the option to attend college recruiting panels and discussions.
