The purpose of this 10 Week Winter Group Training is to introduce higher level Goalkeeping training and fitness training to help your goalkeepers move to the next level in preparation of their 2024 Spring Season.
This is for Va Beach GKs ONLY.
Richmond and Williamsburg area goalkeepers go here to learn more about our Richmond Winter Group Training.
This program is open from December to February. Goalkeepers can drop-in at anytime throughout the program. Sign-up for each weekly class above.
Each training session is meant to give goalkeepers a realistic training experience similar to what they would experience in a collegiate, high school and middle school preseasons.
