The ZPro Futbol Goalkeeper Academy Soccer Camp provides dedicated goalkeeper coaching staff and provides the opportunity for Goalkeepers to use their training in games daily throughout the camp of their choice. ZPro Futbol and the Steamboat Soccer Academy are teaming up to provide goalkeepers at SSA with PROVEN training techniques with international coaching experience. ZPro's coaches train international goalkeepers around the world as well as college and youth goalkeepers around the United States. The ZPro Goalkeeper Academy at SSA is an integrated part of our SSA Premier Academy and Performance Academy.

With the continued evolution of the modern keeper, we believe that effective training comes from coaching the goalkeeper in several different areas. Our training is comprised of the following areas:

• Daily training sessions with our ZPro Goalkeeper Director and certified goalkeeper coaches.
• Goalkeeper training/coaching that is integrated with the SSA field player Academy sessions.
• Coaching of the Goalkeeper during match games.

Our Philosophy is to teach the proper skill and technique into every training. We also want our training to be a safe and fun environment for all of our goalies. We believe that is important to push and challenge all of our goalkeepers no matter their age or ability. We work with our goalkeepers on:

• Technique/Skills:
  Diving, Footwork, Catching, Throwing, Kicking, and GK Stance
• Physical Core:
  Balance, Speed, Strength, Quickness, Power, and Range of Motion
• Mental Focus:
  Being ready to play, Being aware of your surroundings, staying focused for 90 minutes, and mental toughness.
  
• Tactics/Coaching/Communication:
  Organizing defense and restarts, starting position and angle of play, and decision-making in distribution.
  

Camper Options:
Day Camper - $425 (field sessions only)
Day Camper Plus - $625 (field sessions, transportation, meals, mid-day excursions)
