The Academy will run for six (6) sessions U9-U-12 and seven (7) sessions for U13-U19 (schedule below) and will include a one hour session per week focused on a specific GK topic. The Academy is open to all Travel and Revolution Academy goalkeepers.

** no more than two goalies per team per session. If more than two players are interested send them on a rotating basis. Please bring ball,water and wear GK equipment (gloves, shirt. short)

 A New component to GK Academy is Travel Home match observation/assessment by the GK Academy technical staff. We are very excited to add this as it will allow goalies to be observed and accessed under match conditions. When and where possible, the GK Academy technical staff will warm-up the GK specifically and give them technical guidance before, during and after the match. Feedback on performance/technical/psychological aspects will also be provided by GK Academy Technical staff.
