Goal Keeper Development (U10-U18)

A happy goal keeper is a successful goal keeper. By enabling our players to try goal keeping in a fun and dedicated environment, they are more likely to enjoy the position and develop a long-lasting interest in goal keeping.

The Goal Keeper Development sessions will be held weekly on Sunday afternoons from 16:00-17:30 from May 30 to June 27. The sessions will focus on the development of basic goal keeping skills through drills and activities and will be run by Soccer Chelsea volunteer coaches. Although weekly participation is not required, players will derive the greatest benefit from regular attendance. There is a $25 fee for the complete series of sessions and registration is required. The sessions will be capped at 15 participants.

Elite Goal Keeper Training (U12-U18)

A professional goal keeper coach has been engaged to run weekly elite goal keeper training to help our committed and skilled keepers develop to their full potential. Players will be invited to participate based on skill, interest and commitment. Participants will be expected to attend regularly in addition to their regular team practices. There is a $100 fee for the complete series of sessions and registration is required.  The sessions will be capped at 10 participants.
