SHOOT AND SAVE
The Shoot & Save Camp runs simultaneously on days 3 & 4
● The Goalkeeping side of the camp runs all 4 days and focuses on one of the most demanding and mentally challenging positions on the field. This camp’s specialized training develops a player’s presence in the goal as well as footwork, shot stopping, high balls, distribution, and communication. We make sure that the players face hundreds of different types of shots over the final two days.
● The Finishing side of the camp focuses solely on the player’s ability to score goals. Players will be put in different finishing scenarios and the pressure will be increased to make the scenarios more realistic and be able to shoot and finish under game-like pressure. Keep in mind that, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!”
