PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
WINTER 2009 GOALKEEPING CLINICS
The Winter Goalkeeping clinics are offered to Recreational Program players in grades 3-5 and Premier and Classic players in the U10 and U11 age groups. Each clinic will have a strong focus on the fundamental technical skills of goalkeeping, with the objective of quickly helping each young goalkeeper develop a higher level of confidence in their abilities. In addition, some tactical work will be included to provide logical connections between the technical and tactical elements of the game from a goalkeeper's perspective. Participants will be grouped by age and current ability levels, so as to provide each the opportunity to work on skills that are appropriate for their developmental stage.
