8-11, 2013 - Boys & Girls, Entering Fall 2013 Grades 5-12 and Incoming
Freshmen. (Extended
Day Commuters: 9am - 8pm / Day Commuters: 9am - 4pm) The Advanced & Elite Residential Goalkeeper
Academy Camp is open to boys and girls, entering 2013 fall grades 5-12 and
incoming college freshmen who are dedicated to goalkeeping. Designed for the
serious goalkeepers and those who have aspirations to play soccer at the
collegiate level. The HGA Residential Camp focuses on both the physical and
the mental aspect of goalkeeping. Its goal is to enhance each player’s
technical, tactical, physical and psychological ability in order to become a
successful goalkeeper. This camp will push goalkeepers to their limits.
Campers will be divided into two groups, (Advanced: Fall 2013 Grades 5-8 and
Elite: Fall 2013 Grades 9-12 plus incoming college freshmen). Each group will have a
1:8 coach-to-player ratio, so as to sharpen the individual development of
each player. The HGA Residential Camp’s professional staff will train
and mentor the goalkeepers and ensure that they maximize their potential and
improve their skills before leaving the camp. Our philosophy is to expose all
campers to various styles of coaching while focusing on the same techniques. In addition to teaching the technical and tactical
skills required by goalkeepers, the HGA camps also focus on teaching the
goalkeepers to establish a presence and be leaders on the field. Most
activities are performed in a game like environment to ensure that the
goalkeepers understand when to apply the technical and tactical skills. At
the HGA camps, youngsters learn that it is as important to prevent shots, as
it is to make a save. Off the field the learning continues with
lectures, video analysis, question & answer sessions. A high level of
competition, plus outstanding instruction, offers an unparalleled learning
opportunity for goalkeepers at the Hare Residential Goalkeeper Camp. Written evaluations will
be given to the high school and incoming college players at the end of camp. Coaching Staff The coaching staff will be lead by Gerald “Jerry”
Hare, Owner / Director of Hare Goalkeeper Academy and Goalkeeper Coach at
Shady Side Academy. The HGA Camps Coaching Staff includes top-level college, high
school, ODP and club goalkeeper coaches. They all have many years of
experience playing and teaching soccer of all levels. The coaches on the
staff are all certified and nationally licensed from National Soccer Coaches
Association (NSCAA), United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and the United
European Football Association (UEFA). For
