On July
26th SoccerPlus will host the 11th ANTC located at Bowdoin
College in Brunswick Maine. The curriculum is unique,
written and updated by Tony DiCicco and his top Directors to
provide our students with the latest custom training
methods. The ANTC staff is comprised of SoccerPlus Directors
and senior staff who are assigned a group of just six
students, creating an unbelievable student to staff ratio of
6:1. Bowdoin College has been a host to SoccerPlus
Goalkeeper School for many years. Bowdoin has world-class
fields and also has the best food of the summer as rated by
our students and staff. Students will be housed within the
dormitories of this prestigious school. Each student will
receive an impressive adidas gear package to use during the
week and then take home.
The 11th annual ANTC promises to be as exciting and
rewarding as its predecessors. To attend you must have
attended a SoccerPlus National Training Center.
Date: July 26-31, 2008

What ANTC Campers Say About the Program |
|
"This was
a great experience. To be able to play with some of the best
students from the SoccerPlus Goalkeeper School and work with
some of the most renowned coaches in the country was a great
pleasure. I was spent by the end of the week, but it was
completely worth it." -SaraAnn
Bennett, 2006 |

"The best
thing about the program is working with such skilled
coaches. Personally I already know most of the techniques in
goalkeeping and I can pick my own mistakes out, however by
working with such skilled coaches I was able to discover
through them, easier ways to correct the mistakes that I
make as a player."

This was
my favorite camp of the summer; the training environment is
unmatched. -Kat Goscha, 2006 |

Mick D'Arcy was fabulous. His knowledge,
enthusiasm, and all around desire to educate are inspiring
and exude passion in a profound and subtle way.
-Ben Alterman, 2007 |
The
amount of exposure to, and interaction with, top
goalkeepers and coaches at ANTC is unmatched by any
other program. ANTC is the optimal opportunity to play
with the top coaches of today and the top players of
tomorrow.
-Paul Connors, 2004

What the Staff Say About the Program |
|
ANTC is a great camp for
goalkeepers looking to advance to the next level. It is a
highly competitive environment that will challenge
goalkeepers to their limits mentally and physically. The
timing of this summers ANTC program will assist many
goalkeepers with the final phase of preparation leading into
their college season. Not to mention, I love the
staff-student Keeper Wars games at the end of the week.
-Siri Mullinix |

As a former camper in the
Challenge and NTC programs, I know just how tough and
rewarding Tony's camps can be. Every program SoccerPlus
offers is great, but the ANTC program is the ultimate--the
best coaches and the best goalkeepers in the most
comprehensive and competitive training environment.
-Nathan Kipp |

For a goalkeeper coach
this is the best of both worlds; the students are motivated
and talented. Plus, I get to exchange ideas and interact
with these other top coaches. It is a week I look forward to
each year. -Lisa Cole |
