Bravo Goalkeeping

Bravo Training Options

Private

1 on 1 is always the best training! Sessions are specific to one goalkeeper's needs, and is always an informative workout, with the coach doing the serving for quality reps. Some private time slots will frequently be posted on the schedule or can also be coordinated, especially on weekends. Sessions will usually be held at the Bravo facility in Woodbridge, or at an agreeable location. Sessions are 90 min, but 60 min can be requested.

Semi-Private

One coach, two GKs. Training can be tailored to the needs of both GKs, and alot gets gets accomplished. The coach does the serving in some drills, with the added advantage of having a partner to do tactical drills and battle against each other. Find your own training partner, or combinations can be coordinated. Small groups are also possible.

Open Clinic

This is the regular Bravo clinic. Sessions cover a wide range of techniques, tactics, and fitness. Sessions are limited to a maximum 8 GKs per clinic. Advanced clinics are open to all High School age GKs, Intermediate clinics are 8th grade and younger, while Pelican clinics are for beginners up to age 10. Sessions are 90 min.

Advanced Clinic

This is the older Open clinic for High School age GKs. The session includes advanced topics such as hard footwork and plyometrics with med balls, difficult handling, technique and mechanics, video analysis, and tactical games.

Intermediate Clinic

This is the Open clinic for GKs 11-13 years old and pre-high school. The session includes lots of technical reinforcement, tactics including positioning, decisions, communication, and distribution.

Pelican Clinic

Hard work mixed with fun with lots of learning! This is a clinic for young GKs who haven't had much GK training yet, usually aged 10 and under. Sessions focus on the basics of technique, footwork, hand-eye coordination, mechanics, basic tactical games, and a broad overview of how goalkeepers train.

Elite Clinic

This session is for pro and college GKs - usually during off-season, and summer/winter breaks. High School juniors and seniors can sometimes join if they are very strong.

Summer Camps

Summer camps are always fun, with a mix of hard work and challenging games. Camp activities include lots of technical work including footwork and reps, tactical games (sometimes with field players), challenges, battles, contests, etc. Guest assistant coaches are usually veteran Bravo GKs who are currently college players. Guaranteed non-stop action with exciting demos!

Finishing Clinic

Field players and goalkeepers do battle! The first part is goalkeeper specific technical training, then field players and goalkeepers come together in a variety of ways to create realistic training environments to multiple goals. Lots of shots, crosses, finishing drills, small group battles, mini games, PK shootouts, etc. Competitions include shots of all kinds, with tactical attacking situational play. This is a fast moving, highly effective clinic with quality shooting vs quality goalkeeping. GKs training with field players creates a very realistic training environment that's hard to beat!

GK Specific Fitness Clinic

This session combines handling reps with goalkeeper specific fitness. A fitness coach sets up the fitness component, while a Bravo coach adds the goalkeeper component - put together to make high level handling. Lots of catches and an exhausting fitness workout with 2 coaches and many fitness toys!

Mini Camp

Mini camps are usually during holiday vacation days, 2 or 3 days in a row, training for 3 or 4 hours per day. A great way to tune up for upcoming games or to stay sharp during a break.

Video

Video can be used in a number of ways to benefit keepers. Analyzing video is a great aspect of learning that many coaches do not have easy access to. At our facility, there is a everything we need to film and analyze a student's training or game video. We also analyze professional players, and create footage a college recruiting videos.

Custom Training

Training can take whatever form the goalkeeper wants, either through a mixture of existing services and structure, or taking a more unique approach. Unlimited possibilities include various group sizes and training partners, different environments such as beach training, emphasis on certain aspects of the position, mix with additional staff such as a videographer or fitness coach, train in front of a desired audience or with high profile assistant coaches, use of various training toys, etc. The scenarios are endless and can be very specific to your needs.
