Our Goalkeeper program is open to players with birth years 2017 through 2008.

The program will be led by Union Catholic High School Varsity Girls Coach Mike Walch, renowned goalkeeper training expert Paul Blodgett, and Christine Davis, a former University of Georgia player and First Team All-State selection from Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School.

Training will cover a range of essential skills, including shot-stopping, positioning, distribution, and communication with the defense. Goalkeepers will also work on handling crosses, improving reaction times, and mastering footwork for both high and low saves. Each session is designed to enhance both technical proficiency and mental toughness, ensuring goalkeepers develop a comprehensive understanding of the demands of their position.

Bring an inflated ball, shin guards and water.
