Younger GKs (U8-U12) that have opted to play competitive club soccer, are in a very important and delicate stage of positional development. While touches on the ball are certainly valuable, there is far greater need for GK specific education than in team training at this stage. If you have a good GK teacher for your young athlete, prioritize that over team training …

At least once per week is paramount!

The Goalkeeper U. We are more than just another coach for your athlete. We are a partner on their developmental path, offering not only on field classrooms, but video analysis, both youth and college placement services, and support 365 days a year for any current, future or former student of ours!

Our Director is amongst the highest licensed and most experienced coaches in the area, having led more than 10,000 classes over the past 2+ decades; providing our goalkeepers with five levels of ultra-refined, effective curriculum based on age and experience to grow appropriately in every aspect of the position, technically, tactically and psychologically. And because our methodology is progressive, each week of classrooms builds upon the last with a different topic, delivering a unique ‘match-real’ intensity and standard that separates our environment from the most.

Since 2020, The GKU has helped 38 of our student athletes achieve their goals of playing college soccer, more so than any other GK specific academy in DFW. Our ‘GKU College Compass’ program for athletes U16+ provides athletes with connections to local ECNL and MLS NEXT programs (we’ve had 60+ students during this span participate at these levels), as well as as guides them in the recruitment process with mentorship from current college and pro GKs, assistance in building profiles, communications with coaches.

Above all, we are passionate about what we do. We love our kids. We are a GK Family!

The GKU is currently offering small group classrooms and private sessions for U8-U19 six days a week in both Frisco in Plano. We’d love to have you and your athlete out with us!
