Curriculum
GOALKEEPING FOCUS
Goalkeepers perform at higher levels when they can deal with the game’s psychological, tactical, technical, and physical demands. The Legacy Goalkeeping Academy program employs rigorous training routines focusing on these aspects, establishing a sound foundation, developing muscle memory, and improving reaction times for consistent performance.
We’ve found that providing consistent, focused, game-like, & competitive training opportunities outside of the club environment has proved successful in helping guide our goalkeepers to reach their full potential. We will cover all aspects of the position – first breaking each topic down to learn and solidify the fundamental techniques – and then building up to complex live environments containing an array of decision-making elements.
