NLA Goalkeeper Program

NLA Goalkeeper Program

Next Level Academy Goalkeeper Program will cover all aspects of the position. Each season throughout the year will offer a variety of training. Players can sign up for an individual session(s) or the full year. Each session will provide the instruction and focus areas to get your goalkeeper ready. All sessions of our Goalkeeper Program are held indoors at NetSports (our Morrisville location).

The Fall and Spring sessions which are offered for all age groups will be focused around the in-season needs of each goalkeeper. The Winter I session will offer goalkeepers a chance to refine the skills built throughout the Fall, and clean them up as well as work on the physical aspect of the position. The Winter II session will serve as a pre-season to help focus on the details that they need to work on before the outdoor season begins.

Throughout the year, sessions will cover basic and advanced skills the positions demands at every level. Session focus areas will be determined by your NLA Director/Coach.

For each session your player will need to:
      1. Wear a long sleeve goalie shirt
      2. Bring a size 4 soccer ball (U9 - U11 players) or size 5 soccer ball (U12 - U14 playres)
      3. Bring a water bottle/ sports drink with their name on it
