Goalkeeper Training

The Blackbear United coaching staff offers goalkeeper training sessions for all Blackbear players. It is recommended for all players ages 9-18 and open to any player who would like to learn key goalkeeper skills.

Head Coach of the Goalkeeper Staff runs the weekly sessions.

Topics include; Diving; Shot Stopping; Angles; Receiving High Balls; Dealing with crosses; Distribution; 1v1 situations and the essential techniques and tactics of goalkeeping.

Each goalkeeper should bring their own ball and water. Shinguards are required for these sessions due to the significant contact. It is important that each player try to attend as many sessions as possible.
