Goal Keeper Program

Blues FC has developed a keeper curriculum that is broken down by age group:

• Ages 8-10 focus on play both in goal and on the field. Learning foot skills is an important part of becoming a good goalie. We develop total soccer players and that philosophy includes the keepers in our club. The curriculum for our youngest keepers includes the basics of diving, catching, and distributing.
• Ages 11-14. The focus is on the following topics: Shot stopping, covering angles, ball handling, distribution with hands & feet, setting walls, communication, crosses, and diving.
• Ages 15-18. The focus is on the individual needs of each keeper. The curriculum covers all of the topics that are covered for our intermediate keepers but at a more advanced level.
