Goal Keeper Training
Goal Keeper Training is now offered by the Sachem Slammers.
Teams can now register their Goalkeepers to get professionally trained by the Sachem Slammers. Training focuses on the technical and philosophical aspects of goalkeeping. Stretching and mental preparation are also covered, as well as what to do the other six days of the week to give goalkeepers an extra edge. Goalkeepers have a view of the entire field during the game and can play a valuable role to the success of a team in more ways than one. Therefore, we will encourage and work with all goalkeepers to be comfortable and confident with the ball, and with the unique role and position that they play. This environment allows them the opportunity to reach their full potential and play a key role in guiding their team.
Goalkeeper Training has three sessions, Fall, Winter and Spring. All three sessions practice once a week for eight weeks. The cost for each session is separate.
