Parent of a goalkeeper. So far we've been choosing a club/team based on goalkeeper training and team strength/level of play. We're at a small club with a strong team.
We'll likely stay one more year where we are at. Good coaching, close to home, etc. However the team is starting to disperse to NPL and ECNL teams.
Do you choose your club/team based on goalkeeper training or do you choose based on the team and team coach and get private keeper training if necessary?
Stars is close and has a great keeper coach. But I get mixed reviews from others regarding Stars for boys. Bolts is too far for us for now. GPS changes keeper coaches frequently. And I don't know anything about NEFC keeper training. My son had one session last year, not sure it was even a keeper coach, and we weren't impressed. But NEFC seems like a good place for boys.
Lastly, is there loyalty with keepers and clubs? Or will a club take a keeper, over their current one, if he's better? It makes tryouts difficult when you are trying out for one spot.
