First Touch Soccer Academy are happy to offer a Goalkeeper specific camp as part of their programs for the summer of 2020. This camp will be led by Paul Reece.
Paul is one of the leading GK coaches in the tristate area, bringing a wealth of coaching experience at the ECNL, Development Academy, Collegiate, and USL level. In addition to his coaching experience Paul played professionally in England, playing in over 200 games for Stoke City, West Brom and Notts County to name a few.

Testimonial:
Alex Provost, 2007 (U14), Cedar Stars Bergen (MLS Next) 'Alex always look forward to the First Touch Soccer Academy camps. As it is club-neutral, it allows him to play with great players from all over NJ and the coaching is top-notch. Coach Reese, who leads the goal-keeper camp, provides for a challenging and exhaustive day, but Alex always leaves the field with a smile. Would recommend FTSA to any parent that wants their child to advance to the next level while having a good time.' |
