Competitive Goalkeeper Program

MVSC is pleased to announce our 2023 Fall Goalkeeper Training Program for competitive players.  Our professionally coached clinics will help Goalkeepers build a solid foundation by teaching the basics of goalkeeping. Topics covered will include shot stopping, catching, aerial duels (air balls), distribution, footwork, and positioning. Each session will conclude with finishing on the goal in a game-like situation, while incorporating communication, positioning and technique.
