GOALKEEPER TRAINING: The UAB Girls Soccer Camp has a unique philosophy regarding younger aged soccer players. While many camps separate the players into goalkeepers and field players, we feel this results in young goalkeepers not having the opportunity to develop their field skills as well as not allowing the field players to have a better understanding of the goalkeeper position. Instead of being trained as a goalkeeper or field player, campers are trained to be complete soccer players. Each camper will receive a full day of goalkeeper instruction in addition to learning the skills necessary to be a successful soccer player.
