Goalkeeper Training is a supplemental training program designed for goalkeepers to master fundamental techniques and focus on components of the game within their control. Our Goalkeeper Training Program is directed and coached by current NCFC Youth Director of Goalkeeping/ NC Courage goalkeeper coach, Nathan Thackeray, Assistant Director of Goalkeeping, Xavier Audergon, and NCFC goalkeeper coach, Nic Platter.

Goalkeeper Program

Goalkeeper training is a 6-week or 4-week supplemental training program that allows Goalkeepers to train under NCFC Youth Director of Goalkeeping, Nathan Thackeray and Assistant Director of Goalkeeping, Xavier Audergon on Friday evenings at WRAL Soccer Park.

Curriculum includes individual technique, tactics, and position specific development for the goalkeeper. In select sessions we will have goalkeeping classroom sessions covering analysis, positioning, communication, and more. It will be a challenging, high-level functional training environment for advanced goalkeepers with aspirations of playing in elite teams, college or beyond. This program is for goalkeepers proficient in the technical aspects of goalkeeping who want to train within a high intensity environment to push them to new level.

Training Dates

Our Elite Technique Goalkeeper Program is available for players born between 2010 - 2002, and is held at WRAL Soccer Park. Camp is led by our Goalkeeping staff and is a great way to get some additional training during the off-season.
