GLOVE-LY RESPONSE FOR SCB KEEPERS CLINIC!
SOCCER CAPE BRETON has been delighted with the response to our 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 an 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.
"Already over 20 keepers and coaches will be with us and that's awesome, it's a huge sign that the power in soccer on the island comes in working together.
"Goalkeeping is such a specialised position and both Ellie and Jack have already 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.
* OUR picture shows Irish no1 Jack in action, he faces the challenge of looking to take over from the outstanding Daniel Clarke when the AUS season kicks off in the Fall. This summer Jack will be playing high level League One soccer in Ontario after signing for Guelph Gryphons.
