Goalkeeping
Ages 10 - 18
In addition to Finishing Sessions we are expanding our programming to include a goalkeeping academy focused on developing every aspect of the position. During weekly sessions each keeper will work on mastering the core techniques and progressively advancing to complex situations where decision-making is key.
Goalkeeping Academy lead by Akira Fitzgerald:
Akira was born in Japan and grew up in Baltimore, MD. He played collegiately at Wake Forest University from 2006 - 2010 where the teams went to four College Cups and won the 2007 National Championship. Akira started his professional career with the Carolina Railhawks (now North Carolina FC) and has played for over 13 years. He has also been the goalkeeping coach for the Richmond Kickers and holds his US Soccer B Coaching license.
