GOALKEEPERS

Creighton soccer has a rich tradition of developing top class goalkeepers.  Creighton consistently has one of the lowest goals against average of the 200 schools in NCAA Division One. This 2011 season, Creighton's 19 shutouts led the nation and set school and league records, falling one clean sheet shy of the NCAA record. The team's 92.6 save percentage also led the nation.

The goalkeeper is definitely not a forgotten player at Creighton University.    At the Creighton Soccer Academy, the goalkeeper receives the same training that our collegiate players have used to excel in that position.

In 2008, Creighton's goalkeeper Matt Allen was selected as the first ever two- time Defensive Player of the Year in the Missouri Valley Conference.  He eventually signed a professional contract in Norway.  Creighton has a history of producing All-Americans in the goalkeeping position.  In 2011, Creighton's goalkeeper Brian Holt amassed records many records; a few of them are being named to the 2011 College Cup All-Tournament Team, NSCAA All-America First-Team, NSCAA Midwest Region First-Team, Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award recipient, MLSsoccer.com Goalkeeper of the Year, and MVC Goalkeeper of the Year.  Let us train you this summer like the Creighton goalkeepers train!

The goalkeeper curriculum at the Creighton Soccer Academy combines the best of both worlds. Unlike a goalkeeper-only camp where there is little practical application of skills, we create a challenging environment every day.  Skill, technique and tactical training in the morning set the stage for practical application the rest of the day.  The goalkeeper gets practical training in small sided games to full-sized goals and in the evening the goalkeeper plays in full- sided matches.  Two goalkeepers are chosen each night for the all-star match.
