GOALKEEPER SPECIFIC TRAINING

Villanova University is proud to hold goalkeeper specific training within it’s camps and clinics. As a staff, we understand the importance and difficulty of the position and therefore aim to elevate and promote it. Our sessions are run by goalkeeper specific coaches that train on a collegiate and national level, this allows us to offer instruction in both goalkeeper specific training as well as game scenarios happening within the camp setting. In adding this type of focus to our camps we hope to not only make goalkeepers better in the net but better as a complete player as they will receive a full scope of training. Goalkeepers are an integral part of our training environment and will be treated as so in our camps and clinics.
