Challenge Program |
The Challenge Program provides the best opportunity to focus on the most
important aspect of the game for every youth soccer player:
TECHNIQUE. This program is for male and female keepers of
all levels. Once at camp each goalkeeper is assessed and put
into an ability-based group that will allow our staff to adjust
the level of training to ensure a week in a training group that
is appropriate for each
and every goalkeeper. For our younger keepers this may be their
first formal introduction to serious goalkeeper training. For
our advanced or returning goalkeepers it will be a comprehensive
review and will continue to layer in knowledge and experiences
within the demanding training structure. For all students, it
will be an experience that will have a significant impact on and
off the field.
When SoccerPlus Goalkeeper School (SPGS) was originally created
in 1982, this was the program that those first students went through,
since then thousands of goalkeepers from around the world have
attended and benefited from the SoccerPlus Challenge Program and
while the curriculum has evolved with the game, the
methodology that Tony and his staff used then is still
employed today, "Challenge them..." was the mantra of
the staff, then and now; this is where the name for
the program stems from. The program is demanding, designed to
address both technical and tactical skills at each student's
level and provide the maximum possible repetitions in which to
imprint and train in the techniques that are taught during the
week. SoccerPlus Goalkeeper School recognizes that each student
enters the Challenge Program at various levels of ability and
with different needs, regardless of where you start this program
challenges each student to cast away self-imposed limits and
reach higher levels of goalkeeping and personal growth.
With a student-to-staff ratios of 8:1 or better, our staff build
personal relationships and have the ability to get to know and
spend ample time with each student. At week’s end, each student
has a personal exit meeting with his or her staff coach,
receives a written assessment and leaves camp a better keeper
and with the knowledge and tools to continue to improve.

National Training Center Program |
The National Goalkeeper Training Center (NTC)
has emerged over the years
as a basic prerequisite for any high school goalkeeper who has
aspirations to play in college. Many 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; it is strongly recommended that have played one season of high school varsity
soccer and/or be a member of their state ODP team or a
high-level club 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.

Competitive Program |
 The
Competitive Program has been designed to give goalkeepers the
opportunity to develop their game skills in a competitive
environment with 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. 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 a 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. The ideal Competitive Program student is one proficient
in fundamental goalkeeper skills and one who sees a goalkeeper
coach regularly (weekly in season). This program will help
develop your presence in the goal and make you more tactically
aware.

Core Program |
NEW
- The Core Goalkeeper Training Program, has been developed
by creating an abridged version of the Challenge and NTC curriculums.
This 4-day, 3-night camp is ideal for goalkeepers who have a solid foundation and are looking
to fine tune specific skills, be prepared prior to tryouts or
are looking to show at their best during a tournament or
college showcase. Each session will be specifically tailored for
the training group to ensure that the topics returning
goalkeepers wish to work on are covered, while quickly reviewing
areas that are less pertinent. For less experienced goalkeepers,
the Core program provides an abbreviated overview on the
position, covering the most
central aspects of the position, getting right down to the Core
of goalkeeping. The shortened length of this camp ensures that
while sessions are still demanding, goalkeepers can come, train
and leave without the same wear and tear of the week-long
program, meaning that goalkeepers who attend this program will
require minimal recovery time before attending other events.
