Coaching and Environment
Sessions are led by PoCo FC Goalkeeping Technical Staff, headed by lead GK coach Matt Elcock. Training is organized, challenging, and supportive. Goalkeepers are encouraged to be brave, try new things, and keep learning in an environment that values effort and growth.
How Registration Works
We pride ourselves on small training groups so goalkeepers get lots of coaching and feedback each session. Each group is capped at eight goalkeepers per coach. If a group fills, we will start a waitlist and add another group when numbers allow.
Late registrations are welcome if space allows. If you join after the program starts, fees stay the same.
Before registering, we encourage families to review the PoCo FC Refund Policy so you understand the timelines and conditions that apply.
