Burnaby FC Goalkeeping Development Centre
|
The goalkeeper is a critical part of the spine of any team. To develop skills and play the position well, a goalkeeper must commit to specialized training.
BFC’s Goalkeeping Development Program is designed based on the 4 Pillars of Goalkeeping:
- Technical
- Tactical
- Psychological
- Physical
BFC’s comprehensive program features highly qualified coaches, each with a lengthy playing and coaching resume, including international, national and collegiate experience. The training sessions are designed to provide the position-specific, high-level instruction and assessment young goalkeepers need to achieve their goals in the game.
