Goalkeeper Training

Goalkeeper Training Philosophy:

The philosophy at BSC is to teach and coach our young goalkeepers to become masters of the fundamentals of goalkeeping. Goalkeepers experience a high level of competition and training, overseen by a staff collegiate goalkeepers and coaches.  This is obtained in an atmosphere that fosters good sportsmanship and leadership on and off the field. In addition, today’s goalkeeper has to be technically and tactically sound with their foot skills. BSC will train all goalkeepers to use their heads, hands, and feet in team training.
