USA Goalkeeper Academy directs Butler Boys Soccer Goalkeeper Camps
The goalkeeping portion of Butler Boys Soccer Camps is directed by USA Goalkeeper Academy. Goalkeepers will be taught the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects of the position. Players will receive goalkeeper specific training and have the opportunity to play in small sided games. This allows goalkeepers the opportunity to apply learned skills in game like situations. It also allows the staff to coach the goalkeeper in a game situation. This ensures that the goalkeeper improves their technical skills and also decision making.

This is a great way to gain an introduction to the goalkeeper position and a great option for players who play both goalkeeper and on the field and have not yet committed fully to either one.
