International Skills Clinic - Beyond Basics

This event has two sessions available - 9am-12pm or 2pm-5pm.

This clinic gives goalkeepers an opportunity to get a look at multiple shot presentations (forehand, chip, reverse chip, sweep, deflection, etc.) with the focus on making the most of their first touch, or—in the event of a less-than-ideal save—pouncing on the rebound with a decisive counter attack. Time will also be dedicated to refining techniques for handling off-speed or bouncing balls as saves or to break up a play. These concepts will be combined as the clinic progresses and the goalkeepers are challenged to link one saving-skill to the next without compromising quality for speed. These scenarios will also challenge decision making—whether to close space on the rebounding attacker or to hold and set; returning to turf will require an adjustment in each individual’s timing.

Open to all GKs grades 6th - 12th.

Location: SUNY Geneseo, College Stadium

Parking: Lot I or Lot K
