FC Alliance offers at least four goalkeeper sessions per week.  Our staff includes former collegiate and professional goalkeepers.  Led by former Lady Vol assistant coach and pro indoor keeper Hemant Sharma and former Samford goalkeeper Carrie Ollom, the program offers a wealth of high level experience.  We often offer guest sessions led by college coaches and current & former professional players.  U.S. National Team Goalkeeper and MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Luis Robles has joined us for training before!

Topics covered at sessions include every aspect of being a successful goalkeeper: ready position, catching, breakaways, crosses, footwork, punting, goal kicks, throwing, communication and more.  Goalkeeper coaches also observe keepers in their team practices and provide feedback. 

Non-club keepers may be permitted to attend sessions for a fee, provided their club coach AND club director grant permission in writing. See our written policy on this below under Resources.
