Goalkeepers will join the field players for evening matches and shooting exercises.
Goalkeeper training is under the direction of UGA Goalkeepers Coach Katie Ely.

Coach Ely will be joined by current and former UGA goalkeepers as well as guest coaches with professional and National Team experience.
The goalkeeper is arguably the most important position on the field; they are the last line of defense and the first line of attack. A goalkeeper can win a game with one brilliant save or become the villain with a mistimed dive. The nature of the position requires agility, speed, athleticism, confidence, bravery and good communication skills. The art of successful goalkeeping depends on sound technique, good decision making and the willingness to take physical risks. Playing the position well requires special skills and training. Prepare to be the best!
