The “GOLD STANDARD” in Goalkeeper Development     

                   

Goalkeeper Centre of Excellence coaches David Bellemare and Aaron Falsetto bring a wealth of knowledge and experience with them having developed goalkeepers for College, University,  Provincial, National and Professional programs.

For players who aspire to be a goalkeeper and players who are wanting to try a different position, this program is an excellent chance to learn all the required skills necessary to be a goalkeeper. Goalkeeping is known as one of the most technically difficult positions on the soccer field, thus the OSU is committed to providing its goalkeepers a specialized program to assist goalkeepers to reach their full potential both on and off the field.

Goalkeepers will work through the fundamental skills of the position: agility and footwork, positioning, shot stopping, catching, diving, and distribution (both throwing and kicking). As part of the key skills, players will come to understand the tactical side of being a goalkeeper and learn to command the box!

Sessions will include the latest in technical and tactical methodologies as well as the latest equipment to develop the all goalkeepers in the program.
