Do you have an aspiring goalkeeper that is looking for some position specific training?
Help them develop their skills with a proper technical foundation, while having fun at the same time! For over 20 years, I've been doing my best to help goalkeepers get to the next level of competition, from grassroots right up to National team and professional environments. And as much as the technical and tactical aspects are crucial to a goalkeeper's development, the enjoyment of playing the position is just as important. No matter the level, from recreational to professional, if playing the game and position don't bring you joy, why bother?
Bonivital has always been a great supporter and partner of my academy over the years and many of the club's goalkeepers have gone on to play at the collegiate or even professional level. These would include goalkeepers like, Madison Wilford (UofM, Swedish Professional League), Taryn Raabe, Madison Priebe, Jayda Mushinski (UofW), Cassidy Fedoruk (Current BVSC player and UofR commit), Evan Barker (UNB, FC Manitoba, World Collegiate Games), Josh Biswanger (Nipissing University) and Jacob Tsai (Current BVSC player and has already played a game for Valour F.C.'s first team.) There are more that got to these levels (so please don't be mad if you're reading this and don't see your name. Lol.)
Bonivital is a top-rated club in the city with a great vision for the development of their players! I've also been a part of this great club as a player or coach, since 1986. It brings me great pride to see the players from this club do well and succeed in their dreams. So, if you're Rec, D-League or Premier, there's a perfect spot for you in my academy! So, with that, I'm happy to announce the details of the 2025 Outdoor Academy.
This will be a ten week programme that runs on Friday evenings during the months of May, June and September. This year I have five, one hour time slots. The sessions will all be at Memorial on the turf.
The cost is $30 per session, and if you have one goalkeeper in a family register at full fee, another sibling can register at 50% off. This can hopefully ease the financial commitment a little bit in two goalkeeper families.
You are not obligated to register for all the Fridays but, I will obviously prioritize the people that would like to do that, first. That's only because it makes planning and grouping much easier. Having said that, you still can register on a week to week basis, if you'd like. There are typically a few drop in spots available on any given Friday or Sunday.
This year there will also be an academy training shirt that will be included when a goalkeeper registers for the entire block!
As a side note, I will again be running my usual Tuesday, Thursday morning and Friday afternoon small group sessions during July and August. I'll formally send out details when we get closer to the summer.
Registration this season will be done directly through me, by emailing me at jeff@seneygoalkeepingschool.com
Please make sure to email me with any questions that you might have.
