Academy Senior School. The academy also provides clinics at various locations

GROUP TRAINING
Group training is an excellent environment
to further develop goalkeeping skills. Players are able to work together and
help each other improve. In group training sessions, we are able to introduce
multi-player drills. Goalkeepers are able to train and compete with
goalkeepers of the same age and ability. Group training sessions provide a
positive and competitive environment for developing goalkeepers. Small Group Training (3-4 goalkeepers):
$30.00 per hour per person. Medium Group Training (5-8 goalkeepers):
$25.00 per hour per person. Large Group Training (9-16 goalkeepers):
$20.00 per hour per person. For more than 17
keepers, please call for details. Larger groups are
welcome for this type of training, however, a second staff member will be
required for over 12 goalkeepers, as the required ratio is no more than 12 to
1. This would require an additional fee to cover the cost for another coach.
Another way to accommodate more than 12 goalkeepers is to schedule an
additional hour, and to divide the total number of goalkeepers between these
two hours. (8 GKs per coach ratio or less is our preferred ratio). The 12 to
1 ratio is our maximum in large group training in order for goalkeepers to
have the attention they need in training. Call (412) 486-8284
or (412) 719-1485 for scheduling appointment and to arrange location for
training sessions. 8-Week Training This

looking to prepare themselves for the upcoming season. It is for boys’
and girls’ ages, 16-21 only. The intense program will focus on
increasing agility, flexibility, stamina, footwork, reflexes and
decision-making while improving their leadership skills. Therefore, if you
are not yet in college, it will give you a little taste of what to expect
from playing in college and if you are already in college, it will get you
fit for your upcoming season! The program is all about goalkeeper training
and fitness. Every exercise that you will do will be in front of the goal and
the focus will be on being technically and mentally sharp. You will be placed
in different simulated situations and see how well you perform and make
decisions. Having the element of fitness testing is another way that players
will be prepared for college. Players will take two different fitness tests
throughout the week and an emphasis will be getting them match fit and sharp.
Every player will be treated like a "mini-pro" and Coach Hare will
work to build personal "ONE on ONE" relationships with all players
to help the players learn and become confident in their skills and
personality. Call
(412) 486-8284 or (412) 719-1485 for pricing, scheduling and location. ADULT TRAINING This program is for the adult who has developed a passion for the game and is just learning to play.
