The
Challenge Program is for male and female keepers of
all levels. For our young keepers it may be their
first formal introduction to serious goalkeeper
training. For our advanced or collegiate keepers it
will be a comprehensive review of goalkeeping within a
demanding training structure. For all students it will
be an experience that will impact and benefit them for
life.
Over the
past 24 years, thousands of young American goalkeepers
have experienced and benefited from the SoccerPlus
Challenge Program. This demanding program is designed
to address both technical and tactical skills at each
student's level. SoccerPlus Goalkeeper School
recognizes that each student enters the Challenge
Program at various levels of ability and with
different needs. As the name implies, this program
challenges each student to cast away self imposed
limits and reach higher levels of goalkeeping and
growth.
With a
student/staff ratio of 8:1 or better, our staff builds
personal relationships and increases self confidence
for each student. At weeks end, each student leaves
camp a better keeper and with the knowledge and tools
to continue to improve.
Ages:

Level: All
Fee: $740 Residential

The
Competitive Program has been designed to give
goalkeepers the opportunity to develop their game
skills in a competitive environment with quality field
players. Students will continue to train learning
goalkeeper skills in the traditional SoccerPlus method
but now you can also put those skills to test
immediately in game like situations. However, you will
not be merely participating in games. While playing in
goal you will have a SPGS coach with you, giving
encouragement, advice and instant feedback. The
Competitive Program boasts an impressive 6:1 student
to coach ratio!
The importance of being
coached in game like situations cannot be overstated,
yet a goalkeeper should not step into the goal
unprepared. The Competitive Program will give you the
right balance between technical training and
functional training in the goal. This program is not
for every goalkeeper and is not a step program between
the Challenge Program and National Training Center.
Competitive students should be already proficient in
fundamental goalkeeper skills. This program will help
develop your presence in the goal and make you more
tactically aware.
Ages:
10-16
Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Fee: $780
($810

The
National Goalkeeper Training Center (NTC) is now in
its thirteenth season. It has emerged over the years
as a basic prerequisite for any high school goalkeeper
who has aspirations to play in college. Collegiate
goalkeepers attend to give themselves the competitive
edge over their competition for the starting position.
The National
Training Center was developed for those goalkeepers
who already have proven themselves proficient in the
basic technical aspects of goalkeeping but still need
to become a better keeper. Students must be at least
15 years old at the time of camp, have played one
season of high school varsity soccer and/or be a
member of their state ODP team. While these standards
may vary from state to state it is important that each
student take time to consider which program is best
suited to their needs.
NTC
students will review the fundamentals at an
accelerated pace since it is assumed they are
comfortable in performing these skills. Their main
focus will be on advanced goalkeeping skills. Students
will explore the psychology of goalkeeping, physical
conditioning needed to play at the top level,
leadership techniques to be used with your team and
tactical training to organize your defense. Students
leave with a sense of self confidence that will aid
them on and off the field. Their new found knowledge
and understanding of their position and of the game of
soccer will help them to become an integral part of
their teams success.
Ages:
15-Adult
Level: Advanced
Fee: $800
($830
in California)
