Keeper Academy

In today's modern game of soccer, the keeper is the team's first attacker and last line of defense. More than ever the game requires the keeper to be a complete player. To be a successful keeper we teach the technical skills and tactical knowledge to read the game, make decisions and react under pressure.

All of our keeper coaching staff have played the game, are Nationally Licensed, coached for years, and have the teaching skills to help each keeper, no matter their age or skill level, grow their game to play at the next level. Each training session is designed to challenge the keepers psychically and mentally in a safe and fun soccer environment.

Training is available in both 1-on-1 and small groups for ages 12 and up.

Keepers are separated into groups by age and ability. Each player will get plenty of feedback given that our staff to student ratio is 8:1. Our coaches identify individual needs and work with the students to build relationships and increase goalkeeper confidence. Ages 12 and Up

Small Group Training

Small group training is a great way to train a soccer player with a focus on the development of the goalkeeper position. We provide high-quality training sessions that challenge goalkeepers technically, physically, and mentally.

Our training sessions progress through a series of technical drills for each individual save technique. Ball line, side collapse save, forward sliding save, breakaway save, deflection save, point blank shot stopping, front smother save, flighted balls into the box, back to the bar, set plays, and the role of the keeper as the first attacker.

Developing a keeper’s entire skill set gives them the confidence to make decisions under pressure. Training in small groups also allows duplication of every save situation faced in a match in a safe, fast-paced, and challenging environment. Group sizes range from 3 to 6 keepers, guaranteeing plenty of individual instruction from the coach running the season.
