Challenge
   

Program

        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 week’s end, each student leaves camp a better keeper and with the knowledge and tools to continue to improve.

Ages: 10 - Adult
Level: All
Fee: $740 Residential
($770 in California)
        $640 Commuter
($670 in California)

Competitive
          

Program

        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 in California)

National
       

Training Center

      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 team’s success.

Ages: 15-Adult
Level: Advanced
Fee: $800
($830 in California)
Residential Only
