Goalkeeper training will be provided by college goalkeeper coaches. The College ID Camp is held every December - see below for information on the 2019 Camp.

In addition, players will have the opportunity to hear the coaches speak about different topics like recruiting, what the commitment is like during the season and off-season, academic standards, as well as question and answer sessions.
