MPS goalkeeping program (6+ years)
MPS provides a week long program for those players who dedicate their time to keeping the ball out of the net. The MPS Goalkeeping program allows individuals to benefit from expert instruction relayed by professional goalkeeping coaches. Improve handling, shot-stopping, footwork and distribution in an environment where only one position on the field counts. Each day will have a major topic but all sessions will incorporate footwork and handling techniques (the basis of all goalkeeping). One exciting aspect of the camp will be the daily Goalie Wars competition. Here is a chance to test your shot stopping and distribution skills against other goalkeepers!! These goalkeeping programs are intense, demanding and the sessions are designed to make each goalkeeper work to the best of their ability and to push them a bit more.
