Goalkeeper Academy
Goalkeeper training will be overseen and conducted by the BRSC Director of Goalkeepers. The sessions are designed to be progressive, so it is highly recommended that players consistently attend the training to get the most benefit.
Our philosophy at Baton Rouge Soccer Club is to teach and coach our goalkeepers to become fundamentally proficient goalkeepers. Emphasis is always placed on the following; Technique, Positioning, Distribution, Decision making, and the Psychological part of the game. Our goalkeepers achieve this through continuous repetition and attention to technical details. I firmly believe that it does not make sense to do physically taxing exercises for the sake of making goalkeepers tired with little attention given to the proper method of goalkeeping.
Training sessions are open to all competitive goalkeepers free of charge. Non-competitive players who wish to attend will need to register and pay a $350 registration fee. For more information, please email Jacob Bordelon.

Training Schedule
The U16 - U19 Keeper training sessions will resume the first week of February.
Goalkeepers should arrive 10-15 minutes early to ensure the sessions start on time. Players should be ready and prepared for the activity (i.e.- wearing GK gloves and any other equipment required for training).
