SAVE LIKE A CAPER! SCB LAUNCHES FREE GOALKEEPING CLINIC
SOCCER CAPE BRETON has announced a free goalkeeping clinic to help build the skills of island keepers and their goalkeeping coaches ahead of the new summer soccer season.
CBU CAPERS Women's program keeper Ellie Lancaster and her Men's Program counterpart Jack Harrington will lead the clinic to pass on their expertise.
WHEN: Saturday April 5 from 1pm-2.30pm
WHERE: CBU Dome
WHAT: A detailed session to give keepers and their coaches and insight into how a GK session should run
Ellie and Jack are the Head GK coaches in the CAPERS Academy for girls and boys and give back to the community in those sessions.
Now they will be on hand to help goalies and coaches alike in this special event.
Regional Director of Soccer Development Iain King said: "With registration now starting to open up across all the island clubs this is the perfect time for keepers and their coaches to be able to work alongside Ellie and Jack and get ready for the new season.
"Goalkeeping is such a specialised position and both players have been magnificent within the CAPERS Academy as they develop as coaches.
"It's brilliant that they are able to take part in this event to help pass on tips to both players and the coaches who will work with them.
"Ellie and Jack have exams coming up and will then be off campus as they play summer soccer elsewhere before returning for CAPERS pre-season in August.
"We feel this is the perfect time to call on their growing coaching expertise to help as many local players and coaches as possible."
* ANY keeper and coach registered to an SCB club is welcome to attend the Goalkeeping clinic. Please email us on technicaldirector@soccercapebreton.com to let us know you will be attending.
