Goalkeepers may very well be the most versatile and sometimes most athletic players on any given
team. As the last line of defense they are responsible for keeping opposing teams off the scoreboard. Unfortunately despite their importance, keepers are often neglected when it comes to team training sessions, especially on the youth level. Well that is where GOALSTOPPER ACADEMY comes in.
- Let Goalstopper give you the training you need to succeed.
- Coaches, lets us come to your workouts and train your goalkeepers while you and your assistants work on other aspects of your teams development.
- We will also work with your keepers away from their regular practice sessions to ensure overall development.

Goalstopper academy has trained hundreds of goalkeepers from youth to college level and has done so by teaching the time tested, "Ten Guiding Principles of Goalkeeping". With these principles in place, players are able to put themselves in better position to make more saves. If a keeper is more aware of his/her surroundings on the field and what their role inside the 18 their success rate will be greatly improved. |

The
biggest
satisfaction
we
get
here
at
Goalstopper
Academy
is
watching
the
maturation
of a
player.
In
other
words,
to
see
one
of
our
students
actually
implement
what
we
have
taught
them
and
then
continue
to
improve
on
their
abilities.
One
of
our
favorite
success
stories
was
a
young
man
by
the
name
of
B.J.
Merriam,
a
former
high
school
baseball
player
in
South
Jersey
who
decided
to
switch
sports
and
give
soccer
a
try.
fortunately
for
us,
his
position
of
choice,
Goalkeeper.
As a
former
baseball
player,
B.J.
already
had
many
of
characteristics
needed
to
be a
good
goalkeeper-
hand/eye
coordination,
agility,
quickness
and
vision.
We
started
working
with
B.J.
the
Summer
of
his
Sophomore
year
and
by
the
time
he
graduated,
he
was
one
of
the
top
high
school
keepers
in
Southern
New
Jersey.
Take
a
look
at
B.J.'s
steady
improvement
over
his
final
three
years
of
high
school.
