A3 Goalkeeper Training

Big thank you to Ian for our A³ goalkeeper clinic this morning.  Fantastic showing and great opportunity for our goalkeepers to get in some excellent training and a workout.  Hope all the attendees had a good time.

Free Goalkeeper Training Session

UPDATE:  Please meet at the concession stand.

A³ is delighted to be teaming up with Challenger Sports Goalkeeper Academy this coming spring season, and have offered to run a free taster training session on Saturday March 8th. Goalkeeper Academy Director Ian Edwards will be delivering a range of drills and games to not only help improve individual technique and knowledge, but also promote the spring training.

Ian will be running the Goalkeeper training as follows:
9:00-9:45am – Ages 9-12
9:45-10:30am – Ages 13-15
10:30-11:15am – Ages 16-18

No pre-registration is required, although Ian will be the only coach in attendance so group numbers will be restricted to 12 players per age group. Remember, the spring Goalkeeper training is just $75 for 8 hours of professional training from Challenger’s Goalkeeper coach. Sessions will run Saturday morning between March 29th-May 31st (missing Spring Break and Memorial Weekend). You can sign up online by visiting http://challenger.mycustomevent.com/ShoppingCart.aspx?com=detailview&iid=28123&&returncom=productlist.

Each Goalkeeper will also register for the bi-weekly Goalkeeper Newsletter that Ian will be providing during the season. Any questions, call Ian on 443-844-3033 or e-mail iedwards@challengersports.com.
