Overview
Camps & Clinics
We offer multiple seasonal & weekend camps throughout the year. The length of camps can range from one day to one week, lasting three hours each day. These camps are designed to implement the highest level of goalkeeping knowledge to all attendees.
What to expect?
Each day of camp will have a different area of focus of the goalkeeper position. Once checked in on the first day each goalkeeper will be expected to bring the same focus, energy, positive attitude, and hard work ethic that matches our philosophy. Our camps are a chance to learn from some of the best coaches in the bay area while still having fun!

“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!”
