Goalkeepers

Goalkeeping Philosophy

Our Goalkeeper program is led by Directors of Goalkeeping, Jacob Dietrich (U13-U19 Boys and Girls) and Ariel Pesce (U9-U12 Boys and Girls), to supplement our team programs at no extra cost to our goalkeeper families. We offer age appropriate training 1x per week with Academy U9-10 players and 2x per week with U11-19 players. 

Our goal is to create a positive, competitive environment utilizing the 4 pillars (technical, tactical, physical, psychosocial) to prepare our goalkeepers as leaders on and off the field.

Key roles of Goalkeeping:

  • Defend the goal – defending the face of the goal

  • Defend the area – defending the 18 yard box

  • Defend space – defending the entire defensive half through productive communication and game management

  • Distribute the ball productively
