Legends Coaches Obtain NSCAA Goalkeeping Diploma
Date Posted: 11/7/2016
Four Germantown Legends Coaches obtained the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Goalkeeping Level 2 Diploma on November 4- 6, 2016.
Ted Bartels, Brett Borm, Clark Talley and Donald Nobert participated in Goalkeeping Level 1 and Level 2 coaching courses at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex.
Goalkeeping Level 1:
The overall objective of the Goalkeeping Level 1 Diploma is to explore some of the myths and mystiques surrounding the goalkeeping function. The six-hour course is directed towards the team coach - not the specialist goalkeeper coach. The object is to empower the coach with knowledge and practice methods that will enable the coach to evaluate a goalkeeper in game situations and then design an appropriate practice program for goalkeepers in and outside of team practices. The course includes lecture (theory) and field (practical) sessions.
Goalkeeping Level 2:
The overall objective of the Goalkeeping Level 2 Diploma is to create an optimal learning environment for this specialized position. The 12-hour course is geared towards the specialist goalkeeping coach and the team coach looking for in-depth information surrounding the coaching of goalkeepers. The course includes both lecture (theory) and field (practical) sessions. An NSCAA Goalkeeping Level I Diploma is a prerequisite for this course.
