GOALKEEPING SOCCER CAMPS
SUMMER 2024
Kickstart your child’s future by choosing the best
Goalkeeping Camp this summer
Summer Soccer Camps for goalkeepers, specially tailored to your child’s age and personality, are designed to help them improve their sporting performance and also their language skills.
You can choose between goalkeeping camps in countries like Spain, England, or the USA, organized in partnership with top clubs like Chelsea or Liverpool, or, alternatively, in the finest elite soccer schools such as the Barcelona High-Performance Academy or the High-Performance Camp in England, to name just two.
What should you bear in mind when choosing a Goalkeeping Summer Soccer Camp?
There are two types of goalkeeping summer camps: those held at top soccer clubs and those organized by private soccer academies. Both are excellent options, but each type is aimed at players with very different goals and requirements. Take a look at the table below to see in what way they differ.
 | High-Performance Goalkeeping Camps |
High-performance goalkeeping camps, intensive, challenging camps, 100% focused on improving soccer skills and sports performance.
They include training sessions, physical conditioning sessions, strategic analysis, and competitive matches.
Suitable for soccer levels ranging from upper-intermediate to elite.
 | Summer Goalkeeping Camps at top Soccer Clubs |
Camps aimed at young fans from all over the world who are interested in learning about their favorite club’s history, playing philosophy, and facilities.
They include training, optional language classes, and a variety of leisure activities.
Suitable for soccer levels ranging from beginner to upper-intermediate.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE GOALKEEPING CAMPS
We would recommend these programs for young goalkeepers, either boys or girls, between the ages of 8 to 21, who already have wide-ranging technical and tactical knowledge and are actively looking for highly professional soccer training to help them move to the next level in their game.
High-performance soccer academies are in-house soccer schools that offer a range of programs designed to prepare young soccer players to compete at university, semi-professional, or professional level.

HERE ARE SOME FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES OF YOUNG SOCCER PLAYERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED OUR SOCCER CAMPS DURING THEIR SUMMER VACATIONS
| After the camp, Ava returned home for a trial with our local National Division One team and came in as a development player in their U19 academy (she is still U17). The soccer camp gave her the additional skills she needed to move up to this level in just 2 weeks, as prior to going, we received feedback that she was still a long way from the skill level needed. The experience with the campus that was recommended to us at Ertheo was fantastic, both for my daughter and myself (communication was excellent). The coaches focused on her weaknesses and didn’t treat all the kids the same: she knew they were pushing her to improve. She also made great friends and every afternoon they visited some of the magical places in Barcelona. |

ALL ABOUT GOALKEEPER TRAINING
The goalkeeping position is the most highly specialized position on the soccer field and, in many ways, is one of the most important. Obviously, the goalkeeper’s main responsibility is to protect their team’s goal and prevent the opposing team from scoring, but there is so much more to their game than simply trying to keep the ball out of the net.
Goalkeepers are also responsible for organizing and managing the entire defensive line, and to do so effectively means needing to know far more than just how to block shots. Goalkeepers also need to have a strong understanding of defensive strategies, as well as having excellent leadership and communication skills to effectively communicate this information to their teammates throughout the matches.
The truth of the matter is that goalkeepers are under more pressure than any other player on the pitch. When players in other positions make mistakes, the team can try to take steps to compensate. However, when the goalkeeper makes a mistake, it’s usually costly and irreversible, which means it’s also the most heavily scrutinized position on the pitch.
Goalkeepers clearly need more than just a set of core skills, such as the ability to block shots, cover angles, and dive. They also need interpersonal skills, such as developing strategies, leading the team, communicating effectively, and maintaining focus and mental strength in high-pressure situations.
That’s exactly why young goalkeepers should join goalkeeper-specific training programs. These programs teach young goalkeepers all the hard and soft skills (technical and personal) they need to become more than just good goalkeepers – they teach them how to excel.
GOALKEEPING SKILLS WORKED ON IN SUMMER CAMPS:
→ Hand-eye coordination
→ Catching and punching
→ Diving and jumping
→ Good positioning
→ Narrowing angles
→ Reading the opponent and
→ Making good decisions
→ Footwork
→ Kicking and throwing
→ Penalties
→ Intelligent play
→ Personal skills
→ Leadership skills
→ Communication skills
→ Good sportsmanship
→ Keeping focused
→ Remain calm and composed
→ Being fearless
→ Knowing your limits
→ Mental strength

ANY QUESTIONS?
What exactly is a high-performance soccer program and how does it differ from a regular soccer camp?
High-performance soccer programs are both intensive and demanding, and 100% focused on improving soccer skills and performance. They include training sessions, physical conditioning sessions, strategic analysis, and matches and tournaments. They are designed for soccer players from upper-intermediate to elite levels.
Soccer summer camps are aimed at young fans from all over the world who are interested in learning all about the history, playing philosophy, and official facilities of their favorite club. They include training, optional language classes, and a wide range of leisure activities. They’re ideal for beginners right through to upper-intermediate players.
What is a soccer trial?
Soccer trials, or tryouts, are special occasions where scouts and other soccer professionals come to watch promising young players train and play matches with a view to filling potential vacancies in their teams.
There are two types of trials: free trials and paid trials. Free trials are organized by high-level professional clubs and are only accessible by direct invitation. Alternatively, we have the semi-pro trials (which we offer here at Ertheo) where, in return for a fixed fee, you are given several days to showcase your skills. The best players in these trials have a high chance of being selected to try out for a semi-professional team. The price of the program also includes training sessions and full-board accommodation.
When can I join one of these programs?
High-performance programs are flexible in length, ranging from a few days to several years of training, and are available all year round.
During the school term, players attending these programs usually train with the academies’ regular year-round team. However, during holiday periods such as summer, Christmas, or Easter, international camps are held where players from all over the world come to train for one or several weeks.
What is included in the price of the soccer programs offered by Ertheo?
- Accommodation in a student residence with modern and attractive facilities where your child will find everything they need to feel at ease and at home with their fellow students.
- Full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a varied and healthy choice of meals.
- 24/7 supervision by specialized monitors and access to a member of the Ertheo team in England in July (24 hours a day).
- English classes (if chosen)
- A leisure program with activities and trips to ensure your child will have a great time with their new friends.
- Camp soccer kit. Your child will be provided with a soccer kit upon arrival at the camp.
- Not included in the price of the camp are flights, the transfer service to the camp, or insurance.
