Winter Training

The winter time is a time to work on developing or refining your skills as a goalkeeper and adding in extra training. The winter training program was designed to meet both of those needs. Starting in November and ending in March it adds consistent training in a great learning environment. During this time we will be changing the session structure back to our teaching sessions and implementing our curriculum. The teaching session structure combined with our curriculum allows the goalkeepers to reset the standards necessary to be successful.
