The Camp is based on an age appropriate curriculum that blends all facets of the Goalkeeping position into an exciting learning experience. Each participant regardless of ability, will be exposed to a wide range of skill progressions and tactical/game experiences to his or her age group. The main goal of the program is to raise the goalkeeper's level of performance both physically and psychologically. The camp will focus on the 4 domains of goalkeeping (technical, tactical, physical, and psychological) that will lead toward the goalkeeper's success.
