Goalkeeping Development

Burnaby Football Club > Programs > Goalkeeping Development

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.
