GOALKEEPER / STRIKER CAMP OVERVIEW

The 2020 Goalkeeper/Striker Camp is open to players born between the birth years of 2012-2001. Thunder members AND non-members are welcome to register. While most players who attend this camp play on year-round competitive soccer teams, we are happy to accept players of all levels who truly want to work hard and learn. Groups will be split with age and level of play taken into consideration.

STRIKERS

The Striker part of this camp focuses on the actions & situations that commonly take place in the final third of the field and close to the goal. Our professional coaches will help players develop & improve a variety of finishing techniques, instill good habits & smart decision making as well as sharpen their awareness of the field. In the modern game every player ends up having a goal scoring opportunity regardless of their position so this camp is open to any field player, regardless of where they usually play.

GOALKEEPERS

The Goalkeeper part of this camp focuses on both technical aspects and tactical awareness for goalkeepers. Our professional goalkeeper coaches will improve existing techniques as well as improve positional play when their team has possession / does not have possession of the ball. Goalkeepers are required to do more than just make saves so our coaches will also help improve decision making when the goalkeeper has the ball in their hands and their feet. This is offered for both experienced goalkeepers and any player interested in becoming a goalkeeper.
