What makes this camp unique and special?

On The Field
The ID Goalkeeper Academy is designed for the GK that is looking to be pushed to their limit. Each session will be both physically and mentally demanding and will help GKs evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Goalkeepers will be introduced to instructional practice sessions that will include the following topics: footwork, shot stopping, dealing with crosses and service, 1v1 situations. A unique advantage to this camp is that it is run in conjunction with the ID & Advanced Skills field player camp. This gives the goalkeepers the opportunity to apply and practice their refinements in daily 6 v 6 and 11 v 11 competitions.

Off The Field
Campers will be immersed into a complete learning environment. Not only will they be tested and pushed to learn on the field but they will also be challenged and exposed to resources that will help them achieve their goals as a top level student athlete. Campers will benefit from classroom session that will cover the following areas: strength and conditioning specific to soccer, soccer nutrition, sports performance psychology, the college recruiting process, academics, and life as a collegiate athlete. These classroom sessions will be given by our highly qualified, extended camp staff.
