Goalkeeper Training
SJEB Goalkeeper Academy Training
For our goalkeepers, the main focus will focus on growing their technical & physical base. Our staff will be growing their interest in the position while holding them to the same high standard that the club holds for its field players.
Throughout the year, our staff will cover all 4 Pillars (Technical, Tactical, Psychological & Physical) of goalkeeping over the course of training sessions. Goalkeepers will be encouraged to watch and study professional goalkeepers to learn more about the position and the game.
Also, the Goalkeeping Staff will be out to home games to view our SJEB Goalkeepers in action. Trainings will then be tailored to the needs of the goalkeepers and evaluations will be given at the end of the seasons.
The 2017 Fall SJEB Goalkeeper Training schedule is posted on the calendar below. Check regularly for updates. Calendar is best viewed in AGENDA mode, click tab on the right.
