INTRODUCTION:

Goalkeeping is a highly specialized position, requiring position specific technical and tactical training. To reach their peak ability, goalkeepers need to be challenged, physically, emotionally, and psychologically to deal with the rigors of this exciting and demanding position. FC Copa Goalkeeper Academy Clinics are now open to Non-FC Copa Goalkeepers. While it will remain a part of our goalkeeper's seasonal development, non-FC Copa Academy members will now get a chance to improve under the guidance of the Goalkeeping Academy’s staff and showcase their skills in a higher leveled setting.

PROGRAM GOALS:

Goalkeepers change games. One outstanding save, one clever distribution, one defensive adjustment can be the difference in the match. At FC Copa Goalkeeper Academy Clinics, we will develop the goalkeeper's technical skills, tactical understanding, mental confidence, and physical abilities, in an intense and challenging environment. The FC Copa Goalkeeper Academy will seek to push, inspire, and teach goalkeepers the technical, tactical, physical, and mental components of this specialized position.

• Improve goalkeepers technical abilities, and application of those skills in games

• Create a fun and intense training environment where there are opportunities for many successes which will strengthen players confidence

• Provide players with a tactical understanding of their roles within the team as a goalkeeper

• Strengthen the mental focus and demeanor of the goalkeeper which is essential in their position

​

TECHNICAL FOCUS:

• Handling of the Ball

• Low, Collapse, and Extension Dives

• Dealing with high shots and crosses

• Angle Play

• Breakaways

• Footwork and Distribution
