The University of Michigan Women's Soccer Youth Goalkeeper Camp is designed to create an environment that fosters development for youth goalkeepers.  The camp will include introductory topics for aspiring youth goalkeepers as well as decision making and aspects of goalkeeping that replicate the demands of the position as goalkeepers continue to develop.  Goalkeepers will be coached on technical, tactical, psychological (mental toughness, focus, dealing with the pressure of the position), and physical (explosiveness, hand eye coordination, reaction time) aspects of the position and game.

Goalkeepers will be coached by the University of Michigan Women's Soccer Goalkeeper Coach, Tori Christ, along with current University of Michigan Women's Soccer goalkeepers.

Registration is limited to 30 campers- be sure to register early!
