What to look forward to: This highly successful camp includes a unique, continuously evolving curriculum, designed with the serious club level goalkeeper in mind. Curriculum will specialize in the fundamentals: shot-stopping, taking crosses, 1-on-1 breakaways and distribution, and will also apply those techniques in game situations. Agility and footwork are emphasized and time will be spent on physical and mental preparation for the position.

They are committed educators who have extensive camp experience. Marquette University Valley Fields, located on the Marquette campus, is the perfect site for the goalkeeper camp.
