COURSE INFORMATION

State Goalkeeping Diploma (Level I)
The overall objective of the State Goalkeeping Diploma is to explore some of the myths and mystiques surrounding the goalkeeping function.  The six-hour course is directed towards the team coach - not the specialist goalkeeper coach.  The object is to empower the coach with knowledge and practice methods that will enable the coach to evaluate a goalkeeper in game situations and then design an appropriate practice program for goalkeepers in and outside of team practices.  The course includes lecture (theory) and field (practical) sessions. 
Course Fee: $45 per candidate 

Regional Goalkeeping Diploma (Level II)
The overall objective of the Regional Goalkeeping Diploma is to create an optimal learning environment for this specialized position.  The twelve-hour course is geared towards the specialist goalkeeping coach and the team coach looking for in-depth information surrounding the coaching of goalkeepers.  The course includes both lecture (theory) and field (practical) sessions.  An NSCAA State Goalkeeping Diploma is a prerequisite for this course.
Course Fee: $75 per candidate ($120 for both courses)
