About the Goalkeeping Program

Glen Shields Soccer Club is proud to offer through the Academy Staff a comprehensive training specifically for Goalkeeper, understanding that Goalkeeping is an art, requiring specialist training.

The goalkeeper is one of the most important players on the field. They are the last line of defense and the first line of attack yet many times the only player overlooked in practice sessions. To play the position well requires special skills and training, not to mention a little courage, intelligence and resilience. For many team coaches, goalkeeping techniques and tactics are a mystery. Even experienced field players and coaches may not have much insight or experience in the areas of goalkeeping. This specialized training is available to all team coaches to observe and educate themselves.

Eddie Kehoe (Director of Goalkeeping Coaching) returns back to the Glen Shields Soccer Club after being with the Toronto FC for the past two years. His experience will allow to conduct training sessions every week designed to develop Competitive Goalkeepers aged 8-18. Furthermore, Goalkeeping training is provided for players in the Mini-Division age groups. Staff will outline and demonstrate goalkeeping techniques and tactics touch on psychology of goalkeeping and provide a primer on goalkeeping equipment.

The Glen Shields Soccer Club is the only Club to provide training 3x a week during the outdoor season at Concord/Thornhill Park on the Auxillary Field.
