Goalkeeper Training
River City Hawks Futbol Club
The majority of goalkeepers spend most of their practice and game time standing in a goal with orders to stop all
shoots. The goalkeeper is one of the most important players on the field of play. They are the last line of defense
and the first line of attack. To play the keeper position requires special skills and training.
Specialized goalkeeper training will be conducted by quality staff members. The staff member will introduce
basic and advance goalkeeper techniques, tactics, psychology, and the laws of the game as well as provide
match time experiences. During our training sessions, goalkeepers will fine tune their techniques while
