Goalkeepers may very well be the most versatile and often 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 practice sessions, especially on the youth level. Well that is where GOALSTOPPER.COM comes in.

Let Goalstopper.com 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.

"THE GOALKEEPERS job offers little room for error. A free kick, for example, can travel up to 70 mph, with enough drag and torque to bend around a wall of defenders before dropping like a cup off a table and into the corner of the net. Being able to locate the ball in a split second and throw your body into its path is one of the most difficult acts in all of sport. Field Players can flub a pass or miss a tackle and know they will get another chance. Not so for the keeper, because as the last line of defense, he has nowhere to hide when he makes a mistake."

"The Best Goal Keepers...are the ones who make the fewest mistakes"

- Tony Waiters
Director
NSCAA Goalkeeping Institute

"Goalkeepers must be able to read the game and influence it to their advantage. It is therefore essential that the keeper understands the teams tactics and is able to adjust accordingly to support play by reading all situations that may arise and by making positive decisions to deal with them. One save doesn't make you a great goalkeeper, the same as on mistake doesn't make you a bad one."

- David Coles

Goalkeeping Coach

"Goalkeeping is a combination of many factors, both physical and mental. Many people have developed the idea that you have to be mad to be a goalkeeper. This comes from the courage needed to throw yourself under the feet of on-rushing forwards, as well as the ability to handle the mental pressure of making a mistake, both of which are part and parcel of the game."
