TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Since first meeting Roberto, his aura & natural energy was infectious to everyone he was around. Being similar in age it was inspiring to see another man with such passion for goalkeeping. Every session at GGA is done with purpose & enables every goalkeeper involved to see what is needed to play at college & professional level. The sessions portray game realistic scenarios , the equipment used is world class with rebound boards , inflatable mannequins, & other pieces of gear that work mental & physical reflexes. Golden Glove has always been there to answer questions & provide great insight and motivation for goalkeepers at every level. Its been a blessing knowing Roberto & being involved in Golden Glove Academy sessions when I’m home for the off season! If you are serious about being a goalkeeper at the next level , GGA will be transparent , honest & will push you to improve each and every session. Goalkeeper is not like any other position & it takes a strong mentality , serious concentration & a willingness to put your body on the line for the team to be successful!

Luke Dennison Longford Town FC, Ireland First Division

I cannot speak highly enough to our experience with Golden Glove academy. Roberto and his team of coaches are impeccable at teaching their craft. Our 13 year old daughter has improved tremendously during her time working with them. Her club coach has been impressed and other parents have all commented on her progress. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their game to the next level.

Michelle Smith Parent

I’ve coached in the Bay Area for the last 10 years. The first place I send my goalkeepers for training is Golden Glove.

Ben Russell Coach

The coaches are amazing! Each one has influenced my daughter in a different way yet the training techniques remain consistent within each one. My daughter loves her trainings and you can see they have made an impact on her and have strengthened her game big time. Thank you Golden Glove!

Kim Tingley Parent

Golden Glove has been amazing helping my son improve his overall skill and game knowledge. Coaches Roberto, Mello, Liz and Colin are amazing. Expect your child to work hard and learn a lot! The camps are also wonderful. We have tried other keeper camps but what separates Golden Glove from other camps is they have a focus on the younger kids and really working on technique.

Matt Parent

I have had the opportunity to train in some great places throughout my professional career but Golden Glove is one of the best and a definite favorite. I always enjoy my sessions while visiting the Bay Area, as Golden Glove is constantly identifying and improving areas of my game that need improvement. From technical skills to game realistic scenarios, I usually leave each session feeling stronger than when I started. Incredibly friendly and timely staff, and very responsive when I need to squeeze in a last minute session. Thank you Golden Glove!

Katelin Tablert (SL Benfica, Campeonato Nacional Feminino, UEFA Women’s Champions League)

My son has been training with Golden Glove Academy for several years. He’s seen exponential growth in his skills and knowledge of the game. It doesn’t matter which GGA trainer he works with- they’re all great coach’s!

Matt Sturm Parent

My daughter has had great experiences with Golden Glove Academy, both in private trainings and at week-long camps in the summer. GGA coaches have helped her build her skills and confidence as a goalkeeper, and have made the sessions really enjoyable for her. Roberto has been easy to work with regarding scheduling, payment, etc. I recommend GGA to any parent looking for quality training for their aspiring goalkeeper!

Ian Johnson Parent

Roberto has been exclusively training Kye since he was 11. Kye is now an accomplished GK with De Anza Force MLS Next. Golden Glove Academy not only taught him all the technical skills, but made it fun and exciting with high intensity, and has been his moral support all along. His dedication and motivation are irreplaceable! He is an excellent coach and utmost professional!

Zoviinar Delko Parent

“Golden Glove Academy sets a high precedent of training and quality sessions for any age group. The staff has a vast array of knowledge and experience to challenge any level of goalkeeper to help them grow. I look forward to every off-season to be able to go and sharpen my skills.”

Danny Faundez (Louisville City FC, USL Championship)

Roberto was Basil’s first goalkeeper coach and took his game from raw athleticism to a technical talent. We are forever grateful for where Golden Glove Academy took Basil’s game.

Alexia Parent

My daughter has been training with Golden Glove Academy for four years now. She's worked with most of the SF coaches, including Roberto, the founder, during that period, and they've played a large role in building her goalkeeping skills and confidence. Private goalkeeper training sessions, and the occasional multi-day keeper camp, have been the perfect complement to the general soccer training provided by my daughter's club. As a parent of a goalkeeper, I've found it easy to work with the Academy to schedule training sessions, even at the last minute. Thanks to Roberto, Jay, Calvin, Colin and the other GGA coaches for their ongoing support.

David Roland Parent

All the coaches at Golden Glove are amazing! They are professional, extremely knowledgeable and on top of that, super nice. We are so happy we found them and they have already made a huge impact on our keeper’s performance and confidence level. Highly recommend!

Christina Delapena Parent

My son has been training with Golden Glove Academy for a few years now. The coaches built up his fundamentals and confidence and now have him performing at a very high level. He's worked with several of their coaches and learned a massive amount from each of them. Goalkeeping is the hardest position in the field and Golden Glove is a great place to help your kid become the best they can be.

D M Parent

The best goalie academy.

Antony Siaha Hartford Athletic FC (USL Championship)

Golden Glove has been working with our two 12-year-old boys for nearly two and a half years, and the growth we’ve seen both as goalkeepers and as young people has been incredible. From day one, the coaches have understood their different personalities, learning styles and strengths and have consistently tailored their coaching to bring out the best in each of them. The sessions are challenging, thoughtful and always purposeful. They always break down technique in a way that makes sense, focus on proper form and footwork and push them in the best possible way. Their confidence, decision making, and overall consistency in goal have all improved dramatically under the coaching and guidance from Golden Glove.

Jennifer Farlow

Love these guys!! Roberto (owner) is a very nice guy and is very passionate about teaching and passing on his knowledge of the keeper position. My son has worked with a few different coaches and they’re all great and very knowledgeable and willing to listen and teach. They’re also very flexible with times/locations and are willing to work around your schedule. Definitely recommend these guys if you’re looking for coaching to improve your son/daughters keeper skill set!!!

Joshua Carr Parent

My daughter has been working with golden glove for almost a year and I could not recommend it more! They’ve boosted her confidence on the field so much and I’ve seen so much improvement; I could not thank them enough crew more. They’re always the first people I recommend when people mention needing a goalkeeper trainer. Truly the best.

Yongjn Parent
